Title: The All New 'Before & After Topic (v 3.0)
Post by: Jennygirl on July 02, 2014, 05:49:20 PM
Time for an all new thread since we reached 100 pages / 2000 posts! Only a day off from a year later- what are the chances??

Previous thread:

Ok ladies, have at it! ;)

Lol.. Well the last time I still wasn't a mod yet, and I think it was VM who split the thread with my pic at the beginning- so it was kind of out of my power. I was wondering if anyone would notice that though :P ;) Hopefully it doesn't come across like I am trying to show off!

I am also hoping that some of the girls who posted late in the last thread will repost their pics again here, too, for further commenting :)

Jennygirl you are the friggin coolest.  I was late in the thread but I really don't know what other comments could be said about my big ole head. lol


Okay.  I have two pictures both with me in it and both with my wife.  I blurred her face because I don't know if she is cool with this or not.  She transitioned with me from female to male just without hormones or anything like that.  Its a long story.  Shes not blurred on my facebook page though. I don't think she minds people seeing her there.  Oh and add me if you want!  It's cool. :D

Alas:

I posted on the second last page last thread, so I figured I'd do another (and better) before/after now that my nose cast is off! Tried to get my face pics as close in camera angle as possible for a fairer comparison.

Oh gosh Jenny!
You can tell that was you in the before picture, but it is stunning what changes you made and how you look after! You really look smoking hot!!! I don't know how you did it but I am very impressed :)

Post by: Jennygirl on July 03, 2014, 06:58:04 AM
Thanks GC, that is very nice of you to say :D The past year and a half has been one hell of a ride. Some months I've felt only slight improvement, some months I feel huge improvements.

Something about the last month has been a huge improvement to the way I feel as a woman, though. Not sure what it is- it may be that I've had some relationship opportunities pop up with some of the most surprising people (to me)... or maybe it's me getting serious about SRS and excitement to be done with physical transition. Either way, I've never felt better in my life.

Thanks again and welcome, hopefully you will have some nice revelations to share about yourself someday :)

Wow all that was a year and a half?! You seem to have made improvements of the otherworldly kind! I would have had trouble believing you weren't always so gorgeous if I didn't see the before picture!

That is awesome and I am sure that is one of the larger milestones for you :) I am very happy for you. By the way, what is SRS?

I hope so as well :)

Not really an "after" picture since I'm still in the early, early phases of transition. But I feel pretty good about how much healthier I seem and I think there's potential there to pass some day. Still ways to go, but I'm on my way.

Jenny, I have been meaning to say this for a long time, but it wasn't until I saw you say something similar, that I thought I could without sounding mean. Your physical changes have not been that drastic.

Yeah. I said it.

;)

You just wear being female very, very well.

You are the first to admit it takes work to be a woman. I agree and add, good genes help. You put in the work, and have good genes. Now you can hang out with old friends and they do not know who you are.

So why are people so amazed by your pictures here (myself included)?

Well, the pics are good, for starters. You are tasteful in wardrobe and makeup. AND you glow with joy. The skin has changed, but how you feel in said skin has changed even more.

You are the epitome of what I keep trying to tell people. HRT does very little visually, it is the effort we put in, the enjoyment we feel, and the culmination of all these teeny tiny results that paint the real picture.

It is who you are, how you present, and the bravery to not give a flying ****, that really makes the difference.

People are inspired because of your looks? Good luck people. Jenny has great genes. She should have been FAAB.

People should be inspired by your heart and soul. Because THAT is what really makes the difference.

I have to disagree here. Your mental state is an abstract thing. Passability is concrete. It doesn't really matter how you feel on the inside, you still won't be passable unless you look female. Even with mannerisms and a projection of confidence, it won't do anything unless you look female. That said, I disagree that HRT does very little visually. The changes that HRT causes are subtle, but that doesn't mean they're little. It's the subtleties that people pick up on that are used to determine someone's gender. So having those subtleties changed has a profound effect on your overall appearance.

Jenny, I have been meaning to say this for a long time, but it wasn't until I saw you say something similar, that I thought I could without sounding mean. Your physical changes have not been that drastic.

Yeah. I said it.

;)

You just wear being female very, very well.

You are the first to admit it takes work to be a woman. I agree and add, good genes help. You put in the work, and have good genes. Now you can hang out with old friends and they do not know who you are.

So why are people so amazed by your pictures here (myself included)?

Well, the pics are good, for starters. You are tasteful in wardrobe and makeup. AND you glow with joy. The skin has changed, but how you feel in said skin has changed even more.

You are the epitome of what I keep trying to tell people. HRT does very little visually, it is the effort we put in, the enjoyment we feel, and the culmination of all these teeny tiny results that paint the real picture.

It is who you are, how you present, and the bravery to not give a flying ****, that really makes the difference.

People are inspired because of your looks? Good luck people. Jenny has great genes. She should have been FAAB.

People should be inspired by your heart and soul. Because THAT is what really makes the difference.

It's crazy, isn't it? That Jenny looks like a twin of her old self yet looks undeniably and 100% female. Whenever I show cis friends before/after pics on these forums, they are ALWAYS most amazed by Jenny, despite other girls going through more drastic physical changes to look female.

I think you disagreed with me, by saying almost exactly what I just said. ;)

I guess so :P I guess the thing that kinda invokes my disagreement most is "She should have been FAAB."

Isn't that the case with all MTF transgender people, that they should have been female assigned at birth, by the very definition of transgenderism?

River, if that is indeed the case, it does not invalidate my statement.

Again, you disagree by agreeing with exactly what I said.

4 months hormones, two weeks post FFS, laser hair removal done, 60 pound weight loss.

Same cute facial structure, just a much more feminine look! You are really rocking that transition! I honestly had to like nitpick everything just to prove to my brain you weren't cis! Lol! Damn you look cute!

LOL I just posted about you on the other thread :)  :D

You are such a cutey!! And definitely one of my favorites here....well I would say favorite but then Shan my get upset LOL

You just need to realize for yourself that you are beautiful and so naturally looking, I know easier said than done!

Its so nice to hear that your mother is so supportive of you. I would like to think I would be the same with my children. It sounds like you have a close relationship with her....could be somewhat co-dependent like I am with my children. Maybe you and I need to break away a bit....just my observation of maybe myself more than you LOL

I saw. Strange, we were posting about the same time regarding each other.  :o

You know, its been a week and a half since being back on the hormones, and while not the same as I had before, the pills are working, today I have felt better than I have in a very long time, actually feel all the good stuff, pretty, feminine, just downright wonderful about me. That's what I needed. For a bit there I wasn't sure if I was going to make it, so thankful of those that thought better of me than I did of myself when I was going through that rough patch, otherwise I wouldn't be feeling good nor have any pretty dresses to show off.

I love my mom more than anyone, we've been through everything together, pulling through the worst of it. Eh, we have our disagreements and hard times, but we get over it and continue to love each other like family should. She's been there for me and I for her. I do agree with you that I should break away, should've long ago, but that time will come in time, maybe when I find another, someone to love me on a more intimate scale, then my mom could probably do the same.

You look like you and your children may have a good relationship too. Am I wrong, is it just pictures doing what they do best? I'm thinking you do though.  ;)

Yes you are correct. I am very close with them and do have their love and respect for the most part, the only problem now is that they are also transitioning!! That is.....they are transitioning into disrespectful teens!!

I do wonder at times if how they disrespect me is because of my transition...I do realize they miss their (visual) father :(

Thought it would be fun to add a few pics to the new thread.

I found one pic that is about 13 years ago, it was during a fat stage in my life. I can honestly say this was the fattest I ever was but still only pushed 165....but it looks like a hell of a lot more. My children never could believe that I was that big at one time, even when comparing to when I was still portraying a man.

The second pic was fairly typical of what I looked like most of my life, it was just the start of my transition. Believe it or not there are some tiny buds behind that red shirt....I was even insecure about it at the time...LOL

The 3rd 4th and 5th are how I appear today!!

Shelly, thanks for sharing those photos.  Some sets of before-and-afters really resonate with me; yours especially so.  Slightly later in life, such wonderful results (you're very pretty!), and most importantly you're still with your kids in the after photos.  Absolutely inspiring, and precisely what I needed to see right now for encouragement; proof that transitions really can work out well.

Thanks again - sincerely. :)

That's so lovely, thanks! :)  Most of the girls on here make me hopelessly jealous... I guess it's easier to see the positives in other than ourselves sometimes. Well it certainly is for me!

I don't mind at all! So I think the before pic was maybe 4 Christmas's ago... you can tell it's Christmas because I looked so happy ;) I came out 3 years ago, started HRT roughly 2 years ago and had FFS April 2013, GRS April 2014 and VFS last week. It's been pretty full on! I've got some further FFS planned for next Feb. The other 3 pics are all this year, two of them were like a month ago.

Wow! Everyone has such amazing changes!!

I'm about a month and a week into HRT, but I feel good about the small things I see changing. Here's a comparison...

Helps that I shaved the beard and let my hair grow!! :P

OMG what a change it's like two different persons! You are very very beautiful :) I wish my hair would grow faster damn it

Jenny, I have been meaning to say this for a long time, but it wasn't until I saw you say something similar, that I thought I could without sounding mean. Your physical changes have not been that drastic.

Yeah. I said it.

;)

You just wear being female very, very well.

You are the first to admit it takes work to be a woman. I agree and add, good genes help. You put in the work, and have good genes. Now you can hang out with old friends and they do not know who you are.

So why are people so amazed by your pictures here (myself included)?

Well, the pics are good, for starters. You are tasteful in wardrobe and makeup. AND you glow with joy. The skin has changed, but how you feel in said skin has changed even more.

You are the epitome of what I keep trying to tell people. HRT does very little visually, it is the effort we put in, the enjoyment we feel, and the culmination of all these teeny tiny results that paint the real picture.

It is who you are, how you present, and the bravery to not give a flying ****, that really makes the difference.

People are inspired because of your looks? Good luck people. Jenny has great genes. She should have been FAAB.

People should be inspired by your heart and soul. Because THAT is what really makes the difference.

I think this is one of the nicest compliments I've ever received. So real to how I feel and where I've come from. Thank you Tori :D :D

Quote from: riversong on July 03, 2014, 05:07:11 PM
I have to disagree here. Your mental state is an abstract thing. Passability is concrete. It doesn't really matter how you feel on the inside, you still won't be passable unless you look female. Even with mannerisms and a projection of confidence, it won't do anything unless you look female. That said, I disagree that HRT does very little visually. The changes that HRT causes are subtle, but that doesn't mean they're little. It's the subtleties that people pick up on that are used to determine someone's gender. So having those subtleties changed has a profound effect on your overall appearance.

I see what you mean riversong. I think you touch on good points as well. Specifically though I would like to add that I think all the little aspects add up and enhance each other.. as if the sum is not just a sum but a recursive sum as well.. And I think the missing ingredient is confidence. Confidence allows you to shine, glow, resonate, and feel whole. When you are confident, everything gets taken up a notch and the sum has to be recalculated once again. It's an effect I've been lucky enough to capture in some photos (because like all things it is temporary) and this is one of those photos. I still have bad days intermingled with good days, but as I have gotten farther along in transition it has definitely started to even out to something more homogenized in terms of a daily "feel good". A lot of it does have to do with wardrobe, and a lot of it has to do with knowing how to present myself in a way that makes me feel good. That is what makes the subtle changes from HRT and FFS shine. It is what makes me so darned happy most of the time- because that is what I wanted and I sought after it for months and months and months. I don't readily give up on things. Story of my life :P :)

Quote from: Roni on July 03, 2014, 05:14:37 PM
It's crazy, isn't it? That Jenny looks like a twin of her old self yet looks undeniably and 100% female. Whenever I show cis friends before/after pics on these forums, they are ALWAYS most amazed by Jenny, despite other girls going through more drastic physical changes to look female.

Roni thank you so much, for the longest time (until I was 28) I looked at my face thinking I would need EXTENSIVE work done if I ever wanted to pass as female... I think that was part of the reason why I told myself it wasn't an option for so long. It's just crazy what a little salt and pepper will do ;) It wasn't until I came here and Shantel gave me some much needed support that I saw what little I really needed to change and how much I needed to LEARN!

And may I add, you are so inspiringly beautiful. Even before your FFS, a total knockout. Your happiness shows in every photo I see of you these days, and I will tell you it is incredibly contagious. Thanks for sharing with us!

Shame, it was a great beard!  You're looking completely stunning though, you must be SO happy :) I'm very jealous! x

The beard was grown for a musical I was in where I played banjo and sung! It was pretty fun, but I'm glad that phase of my life is over. I really need new headshots though... my current one still features a walrus moustache! Kinda confusing for people........ >_>

Also Livvykins you are beautiful! I also am a sucker for those guitars in the background ;)

There are lots and lots of us here who shred.  Strangely most seem to be lefties.  I'm a lefty but I really play righty.  Oddly enough I have an easier time singing while playing rhythm lefty.

Kind thanks Kimberledy and Ally :).

Dee, I totally agree, lining it all up would be the most difficult part. I have made one chainmail which was quite easy and then I struggled with chainmail coif immensely though because it has round design - we actually discussed those notorious chainmail bikinis with one of my fellow reenactors who was also a blacksmith and sort of agreed that cups could be made by using two round basis for coifs and the rest would just run in regular straps. But even having no breasts for ourselves we agreed that this stuff would chafe as hell and be quite revealing, so using a beaten steel plates for cups and chainmail for straps did sound as a more reasonable idea :D.

I will say, that's quite a wow transformation Chic.
I will also say, even before you started, your face has very feminine features.
Best of luck starting HRT! I'm right behind you! :D

No.. you are suffering from transwoman mirror syndrome (like all of us lol). I really cannot see any maleness. If anything your features remind me of Shane from "The L Word" who is quite easily one of the hotnessest..

It is your face though, and you deserve to like what you see, so if FFS is in your future, so be it, just know you're probably not getting looked at because you're being clocked as trans :)

WoW! your brow really flattened FHP, awesome!. Your face looks pretty feme to me. You can really see the difference. If I were you though I'd give my eyebrows a little shaping attention. I won't tell you you don't need FFS because you know the look you want. I'm the same way. What I will say is you've made an awesome transformation so far.

Best wishes. :icon_bunch:

Sheesh! So thats what you used to look like??  You look amazing!  At 7 months HRT you are in great shape.  I really don't think you will need FFS.  I am anxious to see how you look after even more time on HRT.

Great changes!  I think the pink dress and the blue jacket are just as much a contrast as you wearing those two different outfits at different times.  What I am trying to say is that you look great! :D

So after a rough few weeks I am back! Also now 11 months on hrt. Thought I would do a little before and after thingy.

Pre-Everything by almost a year. Not a whole lot of these pics around.

Jenny, you are one of my inspirations. I had to say that and it is true. Your story has been amazing and I hope this old woman can manage to be a fraction as successful as you.


P.S. There are just so many amazing stories here. Someday maybe I'll have a before and after I feel comfortable with sharing. :)

That is stunning, Princess!

My rule of thumb for FFS - most trans women do not "need" FFS strictly speaking, yet at the same time most trans women can benefit from FFS to varying degrees. I think it's pretty clear that you don't "need" it but if you want it, to help in accepting yourself more, go for it! :)

Your transition has really turned you around. It is like you have done a 180. It has flipped your world upside down.

You're welcome. Sad thing in my case is, had my biological Mom lived I'd had been able to transition at or around puberty to keep from getting beat up by the ugly DHT stick.

It may be just me but I don' t think that young man in the first picture is you. He looks to be about 15 or so and  a completely different ethnicity than you. I am not doubting that if th e after picture is really you or your trans status. But the before pic I dont think even remotely looms like you.

She claims that she is that girl in that picture, I really doubt it unless she underwent through a surgery to make you look caucasian

I read one of her post where she was apologizing for posting fake pics of her, but from what we can see, she keeps doing it

She committed a huge mistake making her photobucket account public

stop impersonating another person, you are doing a lot of damage to that person posting pics in a trans forums it's even more dangerous

And just to showcase my weight loss, here's a full body comparison:

4 months hormones, two weeks post FFS, laser hair removal done, 60 pound weight loss.

Wow!  That is hard!

Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.

I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.

Here I am, Dec. 2008 at 362 lbsa and in late 2010, just having started to work out and diet
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FDRcnynX.jpg&hash=98cbd3b8eff400779adcb73b2258a3a2b9cd84af)          (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXfPykgG.jpg&hash=e0731d24dc663ff098613893be4db5ff576dcd5b)


The first one is me, Sept 2013.  I've now lost 139 lbs and been on HRT for 8 months.  Notice the breast growth under the suit and the white sports bra.  For some reason, I just won the lottery in that area.  Not so much in the face though.

Here is my unaltered picture and then an approximation of what FFS would do for me.  I used the approximation as my avatar for almost a year while I worked on getting insurance to pay for the FFS.  As one can see, I did not come close to passing.

Just a few days prior to leaving for FFS.  My life had unraveled.  The delay for FFS caused severe dysphoria.  My marriage was blowing up.  I couldn't sleep.  Very hard time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fr78nTYQ.jpg&hash=f0ded39f850fa3fa29f00dc3c925302acd4b4faf)

This is me a couple days post FFS  with Dr Z in a full head pressure cast.  The nurse was super, Cole was super everyone was super.  It made a hard time much easier.  I smiled though the pain knowing it was right.

A few days ago at work.  I'm down 164 lbs and I'm Jennifer, I'm me, I'm happy.  Although, I'm still dieting with another 20-30 to go!  I'll make it....

It's never to late for anyone to be themselves.

HUGS!!!!

P.S  I also got insurance to pay for FFS AND GRS is now covered at 100%.  If anyone wants help with insurance, I'm here and I'll help.

She doesn't look caucasian, she is not tanned in the last pic as she was pre-transitioning... I'm biracial too, and when I get tanned int he summer i look very dark and in the winter I can pass for caucasian sometimes... Plus, she had FFS which can change your appearance a lot, and besides  that I don't see the reason for doing what you are mentioning because she isn't getting anything from it, and she is a nice person, so just haters back off.

This is the first time I've looked at this thread and it will also be the last, I think, after seeing some of the comments about Evelyn. I've talked with her quite a bit. She is NOT a troll, and to those of you claiming she is, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I was looking forward to the day I could post before and after pictures on this site, but seeing how judgmental some people are, I don't think I'll be doing that now. God forbid I ever manage to look as feminine as the model in my avatar. Then I'll have to deal with the same disgusting comments about not being the same person from my old pics. Need I remind some of you that this is a support site? How about showing a little support to a young girl who had the courage to share her old photo?

In the pictures I just posted, my initial picture is even more different from my last than Evelyn is in her before and after.  I did put some things in the middle to tie then together.  The differences I see do not indicate a troll.  I believe she just got lucky genetically.

Pikachu, I've never seen this before.  Please, don't get to bizarre because something isn't right. 

All, unless there is more than evidence than what was posted, no one can call troll.  Pikachu is correct, we are here to support.

This is me a couple days post FFS  with Dr Z in a full head pressure cast.  The nurse was super, Cole was super everyone was super.  It made a hard time much easier.  I smiled though the pain knowing it was right.

P.S  I also got insurance to pay $63,400 on FFS while I paid $10,900.  However, SRS in Dec. this year and is covered at 100%.  If anyone wants help with insurance, I'm here.
that's quite an accomplishment looks like a lot of hard work

This is the first time I've looked at this thread and it will also be the last, I think, after seeing some of the comments about Evelyn. I've talked with her quite a bit. She is NOT a troll, and to those of you claiming she is, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I was looking forward to the day I could post before and after pictures on this site, but seeing how judgmental some people are, I don't think I'll be doing that now. God forbid I ever manage to look as feminine as the model in my avatar. Then I'll have to deal with the same disgusting comments about not being the same person from my old pics. Need I remind some of you that this is a support site? How about showing a little support to a young girl who had the courage to share her old photo?

Well if your refering to me, I was not calling her a troll. It is however pretty obvious that the before picture is a completely different person from the after picture. I am not calling her trans status or struggle into question. Nor am I calling the success of her transition into question. All I am saying is the before picture is clearly not the same person as the after person. I have seen some truly UNBELIEVABLE transformations on this site. But there is always some resemblance to their former selves. Even with FFS and hormones. However, hormones or surgery or both, do Not change your skin pigment nor do they change your ethnicity. If she feels she has to use other photos here then thats her prerogative. You are correct this is a support site. But you will have to forgive us, but this isn't the first time this site has been infiltrated by fakes, trying to get a laugh or whatever. I will add the disclaimer that regardless of her before pic, her after pic is obviously amazing. I do not claim to be an expert in this matter or anything. Additionally if that is her then she takes the prize for the most drastic difference in before and after that this site has ever seen. If you are offended by me saying that I don't believe that is her in the before pic than you might want to look at my comment from a different point of view. IF and when you transition, and you become totally CIS looking to the point where no one believes that your before picture is actually you, I would consider that a huge compliment. Me personally I had a instance a couple of months ago where my own mother didn't even recognize me. I did not get "disgusted" I was flattered. You may want to get some fresh perspective. If she is so traumatized by someone saying the difference is her before and after pics is unbelievable then she missed the point of my comment just as you did, for which I am sorry.

Since I called her(~Evelyn~)a troll I will respond to that,


Just like Olivia said Unless she had a surgery to make her head smaller there's no way that that girl is her, hormones don't change your ethnicity nor your skeleton shape, she has way smaller shoulder, she keep showing pics of different girls, if you don't believe me just see her photobucket account and you'll see what I mean, her avatar, the girl there has a different head shape than the usual girl she always post and the guy in that pic isn't  from a person that is only 9,  nobody gets adams apple at that age.

And yes, I do believe that this forum is for support, but there's a big difference if you are impersonating another person in a trans forum just to feel "pretty" It's sad you only get compliment by posting pics that aren't yours

Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.

I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.

Here I am, Dec. 2008 at 362 lbsa and in late 2010, just having started to work out and diet

Jen that's an absolutely amazing transition.  Being a little challenged on top myself, I have to ask you about your hair.   Did you have a transplant or did HRT do all the work?

Take care,

Paige,

Thank you.  For another four weeks, that is a wig - a very good wig but still a wig.  My hair isn't long enough yet even with extensions. But, in four weeks, I can go with extensions and it will work.  I will need a hair transplant if I want thick hair - it's about 5K at Bosley to get the hair quantity I want.  I'm going to try and bundle a hair transplant and some excess skin removal with Dr Z in Oct.  Maybe I can get it cheaper like that.  However, from what I was to where I am is great. 

Hugs,

Jen

Title: Re: The All New 'Before & After Topic (v 3.0)
Post by: ~Evelyn~ on July 18, 2014, 01:13:40 AM
I would just like to shed some light on a few matters based on me here. To start off I will not be accusing anyone nor did I take anything to heart but to be honest I was Felt VERY hurt after reading some posts about me.

Firstly I would like to say that the pictures that I have posted here on this forum are all legit excet for one which I had apologised for. I will admit it was not easy at all to get where I am now. Also not many of you know my story about what happened to me during pre transition there was a horrible accident that could have decided my fate right there and then. Secondly yes I was very dark back then, BUT I was like that for a reason. As you all know gender identity problems is not something we could just brush off as if it were a simple thought. So to block this problem from my mind I took up a whole lot of activities like sports and other outdoor activities. I am also a person who is absolutely facinated by beaches I love going to the beach so yeah that explains my tan, that combined with my sports activities made me very dark skinned. Also in my current avatar pic I did get slightly tanned as I was part of a beach conservation campaign here in Malaysia, out beaches have gotten really dirty so someone put together an organisation to help clean our beaches. I wanted to post a picture of me and my family when I was still young and to show that I was fair skinned but after this I will not be posting anymore pictures at all till I feel better or till my mum allows it. My mum did not want her or my dads pictures up here after they read all the posts about me.

Thirdly regarding my photobucket and what I get out of my pictures. Ill start with photobucket. I made my photobucket public so all the wonderful people here may see that nothing is impossible and that there is always hope for you no matter who you are. Mainly some pictures there were for me to put up on a blog here on Susan's. I had requested for one but currently tey are not taking any blogs. On that blog I wanted to tell you all about what I went through as a youngling and how my appearence changed twice during pre transition. Like I said earlier It was mainly to give that message to people that nothing is impossible and I want the best for everyone here and I would love to help them in anyway I can. No one should have gone through what I did.

Now about my pictures. I will admit that I love getting complimented I mean who doesn't? But to be honest  I dont expect anything out of my pictures at all. I post pictures because I feel like it and I am trying to bring smiles to peoples faces by smiling myself, everyone deserves to be happy.

Finally I would like to say that if I were a troll what would I be looking for here? There a thousands of forums on the net so why troll this one? It does not make any sense whatsoever. If I were to troll or to scam I would probably do that on some lottery competion online or some online survey to send stuff to people who arent expecting any deliveries and a bunch of other things like a prank I prefer to call it. But this is no place to troll as everyone needs constant support.

This is all I have to say. My hugs and kisses to everyone here.
~Evelyn~

I hope it's okay to post since I have yet to start HRT. I'm hoping for sometime in the next month or two.

Here is what I look like in guy clothes and a bad camera angle.

Here is one without my face and one that was originally just for my own benefit. I never intended to show anyone the second picture.

I took most of these pictures when I was still afraid of having pictures with my face and me wearing women's clothing in them on the internet. Now that I'm going out in public it seems pointless to worry. Actually, I honestly can't stand my face as it is right now so that was part of it too.

Here are the rest of my pictures. http://elementc.imgur.com/all/

I have a feeling some of you might not like my taste in clothes. I guess I overcompensate by emphasizing my waist and trying to distract from my face, but I genuinely like what I wear.

I know next to nothing about makeup at this point. I desperately want someone to show me how in person but no one I know has shown even the slightest interest in helping. "Just look it up on Youtube."

JLT1, that is some amazing progress. Kudos on the hard work!

I was actually going to say really cute dress, a bit stretchy for my tastes, I am more of a flowy/floppy type of girl.
Your hairstyle is teh awesome also :).
I have looked at your pictures, and you and I share some traits. I am also trying to work with makeup and having to get all of my info from youtube. I have seen some amazing work done by professionals, but let's be honest, their work often takes hours and hundreds of dollars of product. I want to get a pattern together that I can apply in a half hour using only four or five products (concealer, foundation, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, lipstick, etc) that I can also quickly remove, as the days where I am able to stay in girl mode for an entire day are limited.

Post by: Skeptoid on July 18, 2014, 03:01:50 AM
The issue I have with makeup is that to practice on myself would be really expensive. I have worked up to wearing short shorts around my dad despite being threatened with getting kicked out of the house, etc., etc., on more than one truly horrifying occasion. So when I wear dresses and skirts I still hide them and change in the car when I leave. Pretty pathetic situation at almost 25 years old. Back to the point, if I put makeup on at home it would be risky anyway and I have limited times when I can wear it since I have to work in a kitchen almost every day. Practicality alone makes it a poor choice. Ideally, I'd like someone who knows what they're doing to apply makeup and show me what is possible with experience and teach me the basics. Maybe recommend a few brands. I went to a Macy's and had them find my foundation shade but I can't afford that stuff at this time. I view getting started on HRT as way more important and with my limited funds I have to deal with the up front costs first. I tried buying the el cheapo stuff at Walmart a few months back and it was... very disappointing. The eyeliner barely went on, the tip broke, and the mascara was globby as all get out.

Jennifer, I don't comment too often, but I had to say what an amazing transition you've had.  You are beautiful! :)

thanks!  ;)

Started out with earliest baby pic, added to it, every several years or so of me, then every year from 2006 onward (skipping 2010 since I have none for that year). Started living full time as a woman February 6th 2001. Started hormones May 19th 2001.

WOW.
Megan you look fantastic (I've thought so in all your pics I've come across) and your transition is so inspiring. I would be happy with half of the results you have had. Starting in 2001 and now in 2014, I am so impressed by your dedication to your transition. It has paid off in spades, and I am not just saying that because I have a thing for girls with glasses.

So long ago, but really not much changes, not really. If only my transformation was as dramatic as some others on here, or if I had started even sooner, but eh, can't have it all. Its just a matter of growing used to my own looks and appreciating them for what they are, me. Thank you.

Nope. No surgery. Just hormones and plucking of hair.

Glad to hear that I inspire, wouldn't want it to be that I do the opposite, repulse people or cause them to jump off bridges. Actually not dedication, just living. And seriously, too many of my years was spent feeling too comfortable that I didn't do what I should have all those years, I could have been saving up, get some more things done for myself when I was doing better with money. Eh, there's still time, I'm only going on 40. ;D

I said the same thing for many of the others on here. But that was before getting back on the hormones again. Now, eh, so I'm not what I'd ideally want myself to be, but I'm okay with that, right now. At least I'm me.

I took most of these pictures when I was still afraid of having pictures with my face and me wearing women's clothing in them on the internet. Now that I'm going out in public it seems pointless to worry. Actually, I honestly can't stand my face as it is right now so that was part of it too.

Here are the rest of my pictures. http://elementc.imgur.com/all/

I have a feeling some of you might not like my taste in clothes. I guess I overcompensate by emphasizing my waist and trying to distract from my face, but I genuinely like what I wear.

I know next to nothing about makeup at this point. I desperately want someone to show me how in person but no one I know has shown even the slightest interest in helping. "Just look it up on Youtube."

JLT1, that is some amazing progress. Kudos on the hard work!

You look like a young Cate Blanchett, really beautiful for being pre-everything :3 I bet hormones will do wonders for you, I wish I had your figure too D: it's so hard to lose weight lol

I deeply appreciate your kind words. Though I never noticed a resemblance myself, that's the second time someone compared me to Cate Blanchett in the past week (never previously). Funny how the world works.

Yes, I feel like I won the genetic lotter with my figure. As for losing weight, I simply never gained any. There was a time I tried, briefly, and got to about 129lbs. I have never in my entire life managed more than that. I'm 5'9" for some context.  O_O

I can hardly contain myself. After setting up my first appointment today the feeling of the ticking of the clock is mitigated. The older I got the worse I felt. Now that the wait is almost over to at least halt sone of the future damage... it's almost unbearable but in a different way. Its very imminence is now the problem. Haha, but this kind of wait I can handle. It's the kind of impatience before Christmas.

I plan to exhaustively document the changes from many angles.

I just love that dress your wearing in this photo Megan. It looks very cute on you. Sleeveless/strappy sun dresses like these are my absolute favorite thing to wear. I'm wearing my favorite one in my wardrobe in my Avatar pic.

Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.

I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.

Here I am, Dec. 2008 at 362 lbsa and in late 2010, just having started to work out and diet
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FDRcnynX.jpg&hash=98cbd3b8eff400779adcb73b2258a3a2b9cd84af)          (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXfPykgG.jpg&hash=e0731d24dc663ff098613893be4db5ff576dcd5b)


The first one is me, Sept 2013.  I've now lost 139 lbs and been on HRT for 8 months.  Notice the breast growth under the suit and the white sports bra.  For some reason, I just won the lottery in that area.  Not so much in the face though.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Frq7420U.jpg&hash=9d9a9517ae9079ed75a78a2ed4a1f91b17e54ba0)

Here is my unaltered picture and then an approximation of what FFS would do for me.  I used the approximation as my avatar for almost a year while I worked on getting insurance to pay for the FFS.  As one can see, I did not come close to passing.   
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FROMReC8.jpg&hash=a9041ccd3f053eca10ec7c381f7fe14dbc54bbf8)           (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F74Q5ZWh.jpg&hash=e3ecb322afe243ceaf51dffdc5b1bfa3225f58c3)

Just a few days prior to leaving for FFS.  My life had unraveled.  The delay for FFS caused severe dysphoria.  My marriage was blowing up.  I couldn't sleep.  Very hard time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fr78nTYQ.jpg&hash=f0ded39f850fa3fa29f00dc3c925302acd4b4faf)

This is me a couple days post FFS  with Dr Z in a full head pressure cast.  The nurse was super, Cole was super everyone was super.  It made a hard time much easier.  I smiled though the pain knowing it was right.

P.S  I also got insurance to pay for FFS AND GRS is now covered at 100%.  If anyone wants help with insurance, I'm here and I'll help.

Here is one without my face and one that was originally just for my own benefit. I never intended to show anyone the second picture.

Skeptoid I am telling you right now. If you transition with HRT, you are going to be a rising star on susans. You're physique already looks awesome! And you're face is feminine to-boot!

I likes. Now that's a good before and after pic, same place, similar pose, same clothes, prettier face.

I wanted my mind to be at ease for once. I wanted the same clothes, location, lighting, angle, etc. so I couldn't later rationalize why the picture looked better than 2 years ago. I think it's working (:

Paige,

Thank you.  For another four weeks, that is a wig - a very good wig but still a wig.  My hair isn't long enough yet even with extensions. But, in four weeks, I can go with extensions and it will work.  I will need a hair transplant if I want thick hair - it's about 5K at Bosley to get the hair quantity I want.  I'm going to try and bundle a hair transplant and some excess skin removal with Dr Z in Oct.  Maybe I can get it cheaper like that.  However, from what I was to where I am is great. 

Hugs,

Jen

Thanks Jen, you're certainly an inspiration to us older girls.

I'm Stella's girlfriend (she can confirm this), and while I don't want to intrude any on this thread, I wanted to pop by and say that she doesn't give herself enough credit. Every day is a good photo day for her. She keeps becoming more and more stunning, and through her transition, I've never seen her have a day where she didn't look feminine and gorgeous, makeup or no. Of course, she thinks I'm biased, but it's true. I think the only person that doesn't see how beautiful she is, is herself.

I think I've documented her transition more than she has (I'm obsessed with taking pictures of her perdy-ness) and the change is amazing. She found herself, and you can certainly tell. Her smile isn't half-hearted now, and it kind of lights up her whole face (and the world, but you know).

She constantly and consistently amazes me with her strength, especially with all the obstacles that life has thrown her way.

On a final note, you're all amazing and beautiful ladies. Stay strong. <3

HRT is going to do wonders for you, Annabella.

Makeup advice...based on your before photo I'd say your foundation is a shade or two too light and perhaps caked on a bit too much.  You did a good job with beard cover though.  I'd also add some blush, and you need to spend time working on eye makeup.  The lip color is good for a nighttime look, but too dramatic for daytime.  But i guess it does go with your dress.  :)

Quite a dramatic change, Annabella.  You do look pretty, and if that's before HRT and any surgery, you'll have some rather enviable results!  (Not that I'm not jealous already...)

I personally like the stark color contrasts; the blacks and reds stand out against the pale backdrop of your face and hair.  It's not makeup that will make you fade into the crowd, and it's eye catching and classic.  For day-to-day looks, it might be too intense, and something more subtle with a wider palette would still make you look equally feminine, just less striking.  For a night out, though, what you've shown in your photos is awesome.

It's hard for me to put myself our for scrutiny as I see your lack of profile attests you'll agree.

But to get back to the topic of this thread, that's one dramatic transition so far!  I can't imagine the time and effort you've put in so far, but it's certainly paid off.  I appreciate you sharing the pics.

Looks like you've come light years since the first photo. You have great cheek bones and a nice looking face to begin with, you must have lost a lot of weight so far as you don't seem to have that muscle mass anymore. Good job so far hon!

Quote from: JLT1 on July 17, 2014, 07:24:45 PM
Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.

I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.

Here I am, Dec. 2008 at 362 lbsa and in late 2010, just having started to work out and diet
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FDRcnynX.jpg&hash=98cbd3b8eff400779adcb73b2258a3a2b9cd84af)          (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXfPykgG.jpg&hash=e0731d24dc663ff098613893be4db5ff576dcd5b)


The first one is me, Sept 2013.  I've now lost 139 lbs and been on HRT for 8 months.  Notice the breast growth under the suit and the white sports bra.  For some reason, I just won the lottery in that area.  Not so much in the face though.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Frq7420U.jpg&hash=9d9a9517ae9079ed75a78a2ed4a1f91b17e54ba0)

Here is my unaltered picture and then an approximation of what FFS would do for me.  I used the approximation as my avatar for almost a year while I worked on getting insurance to pay for the FFS.  As one can see, I did not come close to passing.

Just a few days prior to leaving for FFS.  My life had unraveled.  The delay for FFS caused severe dysphoria.  My marriage was blowing up.  I couldn't sleep.  Very hard time.

This is me a couple days post FFS  with Dr Z in a full head pressure cast.  The nurse was super, Cole was super everyone was super.  It made a hard time much easier.  I smiled though the pain knowing it was right.

A few days ago at work.  I'm down 164 lbs and I'm Jennifer, I'm me, I'm happy.  Although, I'm still dieting with another 20-30 to go!  I'll make it....

It's never to late for anyone to be themselves.

HUGS!!!!

P.S  I also got insurance to pay for FFS AND GRS is now covered at 100%.  If anyone wants help with insurance, I'm here and I'll help.

Ok, I am going to edit some of these photos out the next time I post one of these. This is getting pretty long. But hey, why not. Nine months in. Boobs are boobing. Body softening. Belly finally starting to go elsewhere but not fast enough.

Transition takes a lot of work. I am not full time yet. Don't quite have the wardrobe. But I am full time socially and then some. I would not say I have yet hit male fail but I am amazed to see that the time may come. I would gladly trade my shoulders for hips.

All of the people who post in this thread inspire me and I figure I should return the favor.

I try to avoid the downward spiral of vanity when possible but it does feel nice to look your best.

There is a long way to go but... nine months makes some changes.

Anyhoo, here is a timeline from before I started to last week.

All of your photos are so wonderful. I haven't started HRT yet, but I can't wait to post my face(s) here. I'm really hoping it will do as an amazing job as everyone else. I know it's a case-by-case kind of thing, but all I see is magic. I think the only physical procedure I'll be getting is electrolysis. I'm too poor to afford much else. If you want to see what I look like now, click her: https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t1.0-9/10352743_10154345020205253_7145049362695641472_n.jpg (https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t1.0-9/10352743_10154345020205253_7145049362695641472_n.jpg).

April thank you so much for transitioning. You look way better and happier now. I have to admit being a little intimidated by the before picture! Mine was the same way! ;) :)

To me mature transitioners are rock stars.  I read things like "here I am pre hrt and living fulltime"  Im like....yeh... Id have done that Id had been in a straight jacket.  To become our true selves at risk of so much..families, wealth, status, friends, to be ostrocized by not only the the general population but even younger more"passable" trans people.  We have risked everything to say nothing of trying to conquer 50 years of testosterone ravaging out bodies and billions and billions, billions and billions...etc etc... of white face hairs.  I talked to one younger trans had two laser treatments and it was gone.....take a 32 hour two day clearing and we'll talk sugar...I dont want to hear how hard it was for that 15 min laser treatment on your lip that one time.

If we were mountain climbing we'd be on top of Denali from where we started whereas the younger tiny little things that put a skirt on and went out the door took a step up well...maybe less accomplished?

You are beautiful and precious and so admirable to be yourselves and have would win any beauty pageant I judged as the beauty of a person is not only the flesh but the soul.

Hugs to you and best wishes for your lives and all happiness.

Stevie

LOL, too funny.

Lucky for me, my facial hair is pretty weak. I mean, I could probably grow a very pathetic beard, but it's far less dense than my male peers. I'll probably take the electrolysis route which, from what I understand, is way more painful. I'm hoping it won't take a whole year to do. I think after six months of HRT in my system it might be a bit easier to tackle, but I know nothing of this treatment. I'd rather endure months of that, though, than have to waste $30 on razor replacements all the time shaving this itchy mess. The hair on my neck grows in sideways, too, and I can never get everything. I'm 33, and I imagine that in 20 years from now it'll just be worse, so kudos to all the "older" folk for trudging through what is one of the most annoying obstacles of transition.

The longer ones the b-tch electro woman will want it longer, like a week...sorry to tell you.

I'd laser the dark ones asap, fry that stuff pronto.

Pretty hard to feel gorgeous when you have four days of hair on your face..:(  im doint it now for a saturday appointment. Do I look like I should have hair on my face??? Utterly maddening.....

I really don't think anyone looks like they should have facial hair. It covers up your features, otherwise you're just a talking bush with eyes.  :D I guess some people pull it off, but if you line everyone up with a full beard you couldn't possibly pick someone out in a lineup unless they have a tattoo on their forehead. I have a friend who loves beards, and she even married one. I can barely stand two-day stubble, and it's not even all that thick. Still, it's itchy. Look at the singer for Placebo. He looks amazing, but when he decides to grow his facial hair it's like nononono shave it immediately!

It's been awhile since I posted here, and since I've actually been on HRT for almost a couple months there might be something a bit more noticeable this time around. It mostly seems to chart my hair growth, since I basically haven't cut it after my first girl hair cut. The last one is the only one post HRT, at just about the month mark.

4 months? No! Why do you, like so many others, look like you're on the the 'BC powder" fast-acting version of hrt? At 4 months, I think the sum total of my development was . . . moodiness. You're off to such a great start.

There are only 78 days between the first and second pictures here, but I have lost a lot of weight in that time, and have totally changed my lower body. I am using no padding or enhancers underneath. What you see is all me.

Jessica, Thank you so very much; you are so kind! Yes, I am very pleased with what has happened in just a short period of time. It's funny but I spent years looking in the mirror trying to see a woman in there, and I never could. If I knew then, what I know now, I would have done this 20 years ago.

Today was my first day at work as Jane and I thought I'd share my ID "before and after" pics. The left was a not-so-happy 48 year-old-man beginning work with a growing Fortune 500 company. The right is a much happier 49 year-old-woman starting her new life--with a new position--with a growing Fortune 250 company (same company, but we just moved up a few notches).

Thanks!
Jane

I have been updating my after picture about every week or two in this thread because I am changing so fast these days.  I decided to put an interim picture in this post. There are only 78 days between the first and second pictures here, but I have lost a lot of weight in that time, and have totally changed my lower body. I am using no padding or enhancers underneath. What you see is all me.

Start of HRT Day +179

I got my first injection today. I got so lightheaded while the nurse showed me the simulated demonstration... I had to drink water and calm down for like fifteen minutes. Once I actually injected myself it was fine.

4 months? No! Why do you, like so many others, look like you're on the the 'BC powder" fast-acting version of hrt? At 4 months, I think the sum total of my development was . . . moodiness. You're off to such a great start.

This comment wins!

Ok so this is my first post in this thread. Its kinda a before and so far but i think I've made quite a bit of progress. :)

so here's before
(https://wifeoftrans.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/003.jpg)

and here's my after. Also i've only been on HRT for 4 months and in that time on full dose for 1 month.

Shantel, You are so very kind!

I am afraid that I did indeed scare a few people with my before picture. I really wasn't a serial killer (honestly). I thought I would show another from about 7 years ago where I look a little bit more innocuous, and shows my body. I weighed about 240 then, which is about 75 pounds more than I weigh now.

That's quite a big change alright. Funny thing is that I looked very similar to you and weighed about the same when I started transition at 51 though I'm only 5' 7" and at 135 lbs back then I was really kind of an unhappy tubster. I dropped 80 lbs through diet and exercise but as of late have gained a bit, so it's time to get on the stick and shape up. You're looking terrific April, cyber hugs to you dear!

Welcome to the forums Kira, and wow you look very beautiful and natural! Your face is very feminine--I can only hope to look as good as you do at 10 months.

You definitely look much happier now too. Congrats are in order methinks!

Thanks! That particular picture was taken at 16 months into my transition. I suppose starting at my age can make a huge difference. Even my hips have rotated and widened to match that of a cisfemale. It hurts like crazy some times but hey, tis the price for beauty lol.

This is a marvellous transformation, Kira! You look beautiful and happy. This is what I love about going through threads like these--so often, whether or not someone is  smiling, there's something that comes through in the after photos that shows a person who feels happier and more at peace. Although I'm in many ways just starting to live more openly as the girl I've always had inside me, I feel a great deal happier when I am able to present as her.

It's about time I did this. :) Some notes. I wear a wig due to hair loss. The before picture is head shaved, something I did for years to avoid thinking about hair loss, most of which was on top. The sides would grow fine. During HRT so far, I've had a small amount of regrowth but not anywhere near enough to consider going without a wig for now. I think I'm doing ok so far for an old lady. :) And yes, those are my A cups, small, but mine. :)

Before (about 8 years ago but I looked like that for years before and after):

Hey, that house across the street behind you looks very familiar to me! Is that by chance in the U of M area? And have you lived in Memphis before? Asking because I lived there till I was 17, then I also moved back for 6 months last year (not to mention, during that time, I met so many more awesome people than before, it's sure changed a lot!). Oh yeah, and by the way, you look beautiful!

I don't live in Memphis myself. I'm from Houston, Texas and was visiting friends. I had just gotten out of my car and was walking up to the house where several friends were already gathered in the driveway and one insisted she get a picture of me in the front yard. And that's the shot she got. :) I'm not sure exactly where that is in relationship to the university. Sorry! :)

I'm from Houston, too. It kinda looks like the Heights area. I don't see many houses of that style anywhere else.

I just checked. She lives on a side street just off Highland, and yes the university is not too far north of her house. :) Small world! And you're in Houston too? Ha! A very small world! :)

I don't live in Houston. I think sororcaeli was thinking that was a house in Houston, where he's from. But, yeah that's crazy. I swear that house in the backdrop across the street is my buddy Jordan's house, and yes it's just east of Highland, south of Spottswood, kinda where you're referring to. I remember going to a New Years Eve party there ringing in 2013, with a local band Agori Tribe playing there. Awesome!

I haven't started hormone replacement therapy. All I've done is grown my hair out and started wearing makeup, being myself.

And let me clarify, the "but" was not to negate a compliment but to preface me saying dyke, which I usually don't!  But very much lesbian, if I were asked to stereotype. Uggh! I hope I'm not getting into trouble.

from Nov., Jan. and the second one at 2 weeks ago

started HRT  Nov. 6

Does anyone see some change. I have a hard time being objective

oops, I don't know how that second to last one got in there

Hope I'm doing this right, I've not tried to comment on an older post so.....very nice change for such a short period of time Stephanie.  Only hope I can gain this much ground in facial softening.  Dani  P.S. I dont often get time to scroll thru past pics.

Likewise, it's amazing how much of a difference feeling happy makes on top of the physical changes.

You look great, I think we all wish we had longer more female legs, but then so do most girls :)

THIS!!  Galaxy, you really do look amazing.  I know it's tough for you to see it, but you should take our word for it.  You look natural and very feminine...not like a good looking transwoman...like an actual pretty girl.  :)

And someone suggested trying a flat iron on your hair.  I think that would look super cute!

"Du spinnst!" (English - you must be kidding!)

I know it must be hard for you to see or accept that there have been any positive changes when you are always so hard on yourself! As other posters have already said, the two photos show clear softening and feminisation of your features in the latter one.

You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't be so hard on yourself! It's not a competition, but you look terrific - enjoy that fact, and make the most of it.

Yup, Marcie Bowers is still hanging on to half of my SRS pre-op consultation fee saying it's never too late and a lot of people often change their minds later on. She's performed SRS surgeries to folks in their mid- eighties.

(Probably not the best to see the face... But you've no idea how hard it was to find a pic without drugs, booze, or upper body nudity...)

My first day being me... No make-up, or anything.... Though yes, it's clearly a wig. (Okay I'm wearing a tiny bit in my eyes only, but no foundation) Circa - Almost three years ago.

And... Me May this year (Pre-HRT... I only started in August..) And yes, it's a professional photo-shoot... Though the model isn't exactly quite professional, I'll admit haha.... Those eyebrows!!!!! But it's finally my hair and it's all me! :3

Bluebird, that is quite an amazing transformation from "guy who looks kinda scary and might call me something mean" to "wtf she's hot!"  Thanks for posting - seeing girls who have done so well (and pre-HRT too in the last photo? Nice!) really makes those long, miserable months during which I think I'll never look female go by so much easier.  Your hair in the last photo is absolutely beautiful too - what wonderful curls you have, and what a pretty color.

You're all far too kind, thank you :)

The funny thing, Brenda... If you think that's scary you should have seen me in my skinhead phase.... Haha... Yeah I did get in a lot of trouble and a few fights, but I wasn't entirely bad.. I mean I came from there, right? :P  About my hair; It's annoying trust me.. I'm jealous of people who can get it straight coz it takes ages to straighten, and it takes a lot of TLC to keep the curls just right... At least if it where straight the first one wouldn't be so hard, haha... Ah well :)

I know what incredible things are possible in transition. Though, i am impressed about your changes!
It's always beautiful to see when people are making such great steps in such a short time and i think it's spending a lot of hope for all "newcomers" to see that it IS possible.
Thank you!

Hi Peps.    I just joined this site and have only been on hormones for about 1 month but been doing Drag Shows for several years.  I have always wondered if I am fem or passable enough in my looks.   Exsp. since my hobbies are rather masculine like MMA; Billiards; Cars and Guns amongst other things.   But here is a picture of me one month 1.5 months on spiro.    Thoughts; comments; suggestions greatly appreciated.

Another update. The first picture is from 3 years ago my during my freshman year of college. The second picture is from a few minutes ago and I will be 8 months on HRT next week. I really don't know what has changed to be honest but I can visually see a boy in the first and a girl in the second lol. When it comes to HRT affecting the face, I can't put a tiger on what it does but each day as I look into the mirror, I see more and more of myself. Also my 21st birthday is tomorrow! I'm so excited <3

Thanks very much sweetie, from your avatar, you're doing extremely well in your own right. I am leading quite a normal life, and actually considering trying out for modelling, hopefully if I can lose the weight that I've put in the last couple of years :D x

Every now and then I get a really good photo. hehe  :laugh: Though I need to take some news ones, the only ones I have are back from April of this year.  :-\

I feel pretty confident when I say, that a decent modeling agency will hire you without a second glance! Just be sure to have tons of photos of yourself in different places and outfits!

Hmmm losing more weight would be awesome for both of us! It would be...double awesome lol XD

That's lovely hun, I really appreciate it. My friend in the front of the pic who is my roommate was just nominated babe of the week on a modelling website and could get herself a contract out of it. Love her smexy arse to bits :D xx

Keeping the weight off is a pain though, I've had a real problem with it on my arms and I'm hoping that with a change in diet, I'll be able to shift it for good. You're very photogenic, just going on the few pics that I can see right now :) x

THE FIRST PHOTO IS OVERUSED HERE, BUT I LOATHED MYSELF SO TERRIBLY I GENERALLY FORBADE PHOTOS. SO IT'S ONE OF THE FEW I HAVE AROUND THE TIME I TRANSITIONED.

I don't know how happy I look in these other photos, but I'd never been happy until I transitioned, and it keeps getting better. I weighed 226 on my first day of HRT,
and got down by May 2013 to 160. My brother had a liver transplant that failed and he died, July 10th, 2013, and I went all the way back up to 188 by February 2014,
and am losing weight again. Yesterday, September 14th, I was down to 173. Hopefully, early next year I'll have my GRS in Thailand.....I can hardly wait!!!

BY THE WAY, I JUST TURNED 60 A MONTH AGO, AND HAD MY NAME AND GENDER CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE MY B-DAY!     I NEVER THOUGHT LIFE COULD BE ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!

Miranda Catherine, I love your updates - you go from strength to strength, and you're one of the most inspiring and prettiest girls here.  Your story shows us all that it's never too late to achieve superb results, and your ability to overcome adversity and stay focused on transition is amazing.  Absolutely a role model!

Wow! Impressive how much you have changed, especially at that age... that should everyone give some good hope!
Wish you good luck for having your GRS asap... and too for the GRS itself of course.

Another update. The first picture is from 3 years ago my during my freshman year of college. The second picture is from a few minutes ago and I will be 8 months on HRT next week. I really don't know what has changed to be honest but I can visually see a boy in the first and a girl in the second lol. When it comes to HRT affecting the face, I can't put a tiger on what it does but each day as I look into the mirror, I see more and more of myself. Also my 21st birthday is tomorrow! I'm so excited <3

Mira, you were one of my biggest inspirations here during my early days beginning my transition. You showed me my age didn't matter and you eased my mind about being a member with my being intersexed. And you continue to be a huge inspiration to me and I'm sure many other girls here. Your very beautiful Mira. I so much enjoy seeing your updates as you become more and more beautiful with each one! Good luck with your GRS.

I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. :icon_bunch:

All I ever wanted in my life was to be a girl/woman, and the love and support I've received from you sweet and caring women here continues to humble me each time I post something. I hope and pray my words mean one tenth as much to you as yours mean to me. I haven't been clocked since the first month or two after transitioning and I can't help but put much of the credit for that on you girls! Confidence in oneself goes a long, long way in projecting 'female' to the world, and your kindness has definitely helped. God bless you all. Mira

P.S. Thank you, Ally, for your thoughts about my brother. I really miss him, especially because after my transition he finally understood I was always his sister.

THE FIRST PHOTO IS OVERUSED HERE, BUT I LOATHED MYSELF SO TERRIBLY I GENERALLY FORBADE PHOTOS. SO IT'S ONE OF THE FEW I HAVE AROUND THE TIME I TRANSITIONED.

I don't know how happy I look in these other photos, but I'd never been happy until I transitioned, and it keeps getting better. I weighed 226 on my first day of HRT,
and got down by May 2013 to 160. My brother had a liver transplant that failed and he died, July 10th, 2013, and I went all the way back up to 188 by February 2014,
and am losing weight again. Yesterday, September 14th, I was down to 173. Hopefully, early next year I'll have my GRS in Thailand.....I can hardly wait!!!

BY THE WAY, I JUST TURNED 60 A MONTH AGO, AND HAD MY NAME AND GENDER CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE MY B-DAY!     I NEVER THOUGHT LIFE COULD BE ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!

Wow! Sometimes I worry that I left transitioning too late but you look so happy and beautiful. I don't know you and yet your stunning transformation fills me with great joy for you and hope for myself and others.

Day 226 - Among the turbulence of my current domestic situation, my 8th month anniversary passed a week ago. I am not eating much these days, so I am actually pretty gaunt for the first time since I was in college. I am also stressed to death, and I am sure it shows here, but I really like this recent picture of me (even taken with the poor quality webcam) . The April I have seen in my mind for a while now, becomes a little bit more flesh in blood with each month that goes by.

Thanks so much.  :)  I do smile a lot more these days, and that's a great thing!  8 months ago, I would have to force myself out of every door... I just could not stop seeing the old me in the mirror.  I did not realize it until tonight looking at this post again... but now that I look at my old face, I don't see myself in it anymore.  It's a familiar face, but it's no longer mine.  That's a  real surprise for me...

Reading through this thread has been a lot of inspiration for me.  I'm honored that I can give that to someone else too.  Thanks so much for all the kind words. :icon_redface:

And Delsorou, you have every reason on earth to smile now, girl! You're a girl, not a male impersonator wishing and praying to shed yourself of your hated former look, thoughts of how and who you tried to be. This thread, "The Before and After Topic", is by far, my favorite on all of Susan's, because we can see how far everyone has come, and how much further we can go. It's truly amazing. Mira

You look great! I'm curious; how old were you when you started HRT and how long had you been on HRT when that most recent photo was taken? Sorry for the questions but I'd appreciate a frame of reference please.

Not a problem at all!  :)  I started HRT in July 2013, two months after turning 28.  The middle picture would've been at 4 months.  So... that means I've been on it for 14 months in the latest picture.  (wow...)  Hope that helps.

Miranda, Thank you so very much. I think you are absolutely beautiful as well! When I was first started thinking about doing this, I never believed that I could ever come close to looking anything like a female. But places like this thread gave me hope that much was possible, so I took the plunge. Yet I remember the first time I dressed female how depressed it felt. I was just a man in a dress. Then after doing it a few times, I had a spiritual moment of sorts. I saw myself not as the person in the mirror at that moment, but what I could become. That was the real beginning of my transition. The process has been almost mystical since that time. Below is another picture of me in the same dress just a little over 4 months ago. I looked at it and others from about that same time last night, and I was amazed by how much has happened in so little time. If I had one message so far about my transition, it is that much more is possible than we can ever imagined. Even for somebody as old as me.

Well, it's a little earlier than I was expecting to do this. I was planning to wait at least until my 24th Birthday later this year, but I think now is a good time to show my before/after timeline.

This first photo is from Fall 2013 before I even identified as trans.

So I took a pic of my new pink hair and it made me really happy to see how things are coming along, and it's been a while since I posted in 1 of the photo threads so I figured I'd share my happiness :)  This is after 9 months low dose, 15 months full dose, 1 month endo approved dose HRT and a fair bit of pew pew pew to the face :)

These 2 are of me drunk in the sunshine :)

Not a problem at all!  :)  I started HRT in July 2013, two months after turning 28.  The middle picture would've been at 4 months.  So... that means I've been on it for 14 months in the latest picture.  (wow...)  Hope that helps.


Thanks for sharing. I was asking because I was hoping you were near my age range and you are.  :)

I'm gonna pm you a question or two coz I don't want to derail the thread...

So I took a pic of my new pink hair and it made me really happy to see how things are coming along, and it's been a while since I posted in 1 of the photo threads so I figured I'd share my happiness :)  This is after 9 months low dose, 15 months full dose, 1 month endo approved dose HRT and a fair bit of pew pew pew to the face :)

These 2 are of me drunk in the sunshine :)

Wow, you've come a long distance Natalia! The only thing I would change is that your eyebrows seem to come too far past the outside corners of your eyes and hook downward, I'd change that and other than that you're looking mighty fine there lady!

Been on HRT for 11 months now.  Just got my new license this week!  It has my new name on it and updated gender marker ( I <3 Colorado, so easy to get gender marker updated ).  Thought I would throw them both up side by side to see how much I've changed over the last 2 years.

Congrat's Zoe! Isn't it great to see that great big "F" beside the word "sex" on your license! :eusa_clap: I know how happy I was when I got mine done, so I can imagine the elation your feeling!Also it looks like you've changed quite a bit for the better! That's the first DL photo I've seen mine included, that doesn't look like a mugshot, lol! Very pretty! :icon_biggrin:

Yeah Zoe! ID Before/Afters warm my heart for some reason. And your license ID is actually good! Mine is terrible, haha. Congrats!

Hayley, at a glance, I legitimately thought your before was you trying to pass as male, and added the facial hair with either makeup or photoshop. Awesome starting point, and your "current" is astounding! You're beautiful!

So, I already posted this in "fabulous," but was kinda excited seeing this pic against an old one. So here's my contribution; before is shortly before I last cut my own hair, a little over 2 years ago. And then this morning, after cutting my hair last night for the first time since!

Yeah Zoe! ID Before/Afters warm my heart for some reason. And your license ID is actually good! Mine is terrible, haha. Congrats!

Hayley, at a glance, I legitimately thought your before was you trying to pass as male, and added the facial hair with either makeup or photoshop. Awesome starting point, and your "current" is astounding! You're beautiful!

So, I already posted this in "fabulous," but was kinda excited seeing this pic against an old one. So here's my contribution; before is shortly before I last cut my own hair, a little over 2 years ago. And then this morning, after cutting my hair last night for the first time since!

That's incredible! You're really very beautiful.

I appreciate that I could probably do with smiling, but honestly I was just trying to make sure my thumb actually hit the shutter button on the screen, but anyway this is my face after a year (and 4 days).

As I'm sure is the case for many people here there are a lot of things I'm not happy with or want to change, but it's progress. Slow, but still progress. I think.

I used to make that same goofy looking face when I took pictures.  I hated my man face and I am sure you did too.

You look gorgeous. The hair cut was a success. :)

Thank you!! The photoshoot you posted from your avatar looked so awesome, I meant to comment on those. And yeah, I was so detached, I didn't really care about it being a "man" face. If I wasn't hiding from the camera, I was either making a face, or glaring back.

I don't know if there's a limit on photos, but I think I've changed a great deal in three years. I'm also one of the older women here, at sixty (60) years old. I started HRT 25 days before my 57th birthday. I saw some older women's photos when I started and they gave me hope. I pray that mine may do the same. Hugs, Mira

Whenever I feel down, this thread is one that inspires me so much, I love seeing every single transformation! Everybody looks amazing and whenever I have the confidence/have allowed enough time to pass to post my own before/after contrast photos I'll do so without a doubt.  :) I definitely have a before photo in mind, a pretty slick wedding photo about 3 years ago, which I'll need to dig out, definitely sure it's somewhere on this computer...anyway, thanks everybody for lifting my mood!

I feel amazing... don't see any crazy changes yet...  I keep hoping for the best.
But we are our own worst critic.

Is it also alright to put before and afters pre-HRT? I kept my photo of two years ago next of my recent one and can't say other than being very happy with crazy many changes already :D! Anddd otherwise I will wait a year or so, till I am further on the hormone therapy D:

Whaaatever, I will just upload it and if it isn't part of the plan to upload before and afters before HRT even started, please just delete it :P.

Find it a little scary to upload this anyway, my male photos never really gotten uploaded ever x___x.

Kay! I practiced photography with self portraits, so I got lotsa pictures :D! Second image is how I would have looked if I had 'fixed' my jaw back then (I had braces and they said I should get jaw surgery for the perfect teeth). The third was when I was trying out cross-dressing and stood closer to myself, but just wasn't sure of which way I wanted to go =/. I thought as a girl I looked horrible (not even going to show those pics D:!) so I tried to convince myself to stick to looking like a guy.
4th picture, well, you can judge the time by the length of my hair :P. I think my expression changed and I got eye shadow on.. .. I never got that but I was probably trying stuff out o.o.

Last one is my avatar at the moment and the most recent one ^^.

Sorry for the many pictures lately ._. just exciting stuff is finally getting serious here :P (sounds like a movie o.o).

Not sure if this stays up either, mehhh don't like my old pictures, at all.

Thanks, Ally! I like this photo because it's the closest to looking like what I see in the mirror, if that makes sense. Most of my selfies just do not come out like I think I look. And I am at that point where I'm a woman going about her day. It was cold and I had not showered that day. I had been to the store and had left kids books in the car. It's the mundanity and reality of being a woman that most of us really want to achieve. Nothing glamorous. Just. Just life.

Love all of you. So much. I'm touched.

Thank you, Ally! I can't wait for my hair to grow longer. I shouldn't have cut it last month. In November, I'll try to put on some make-up. It's about time. I am totally clueless on how to do that so I guess it's time to look for help haha.

Been wanting to do this ever since my awesome picture of me with my new glasses.

Me, about a year before coming out to myself:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FewWUdXh.jpg&hash=7b5821047f99f32891af55b0338e3d4b4f95681c)

Me, right as I started going to therapy, which was about a month or two after coming out in February 2013
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FL7Etrkl.jpg&hash=d844f2dbc97ba1aeafa1227260dac770c7432c5e)

I believe I took this right as I started taking low doses of Spiro, which would have been September/Octoboer of 2013. Maybe earlier.

This is me, probably around May. 7 months HRT:

This weekend. 11 months HRT (no makeup or anything):

Those last two was the first time I've ever really saw myself as female. Yes, I've got a little bit of work to do, but I think I've jumped the major hurdles already.

Yes you do and you have come a long way since that first photo which kind of elicits a "Please Mr. Bill, don't hurt me!" kind of response. I really like this one in spite of brow bossing, it leans very firmly toward the feminine and what a wonderful smile!

Been wanting to do this ever since my awesome picture of me with my new glasses.

Me, about a year before coming out to myself:

Me, right as I started going to therapy, which was about a month or two after coming out in February 2013

I believe I took this right as I started taking low doses of Spiro, which would have been September/Octoboer of 2013. Maybe earlier.

This is me, probably around May. 7 months HRT:

This weekend. 11 months HRT (no makeup or anything):
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FtBzIMno.png&hash=371791742617b9b12e4cfb4025e1e2ec3310198c) (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Ft3u8tLt.png&hash=5adf33748ba9305b6e5b868985ba8c988439c2eb)

Those last two was the first time I've ever really saw myself as female. Yes, I've got a little bit of work to do, but I think I've jumped the major hurdles already.

Wow!  That is one major change!  You look amazing!

Thanks! There's really nothing I can do about the bossing other than FFS.... which I refuse to do. All in all it's not that bad. I've seen ciswomen with worse. I think if I do a bit of eyebrow shaping and get rid of that beard shadow I'd be good.

I posted on the second last page last thread, so I figured I'd do another (and better) before/after now that my nose cast is off! Tried to get my face pics as close in camera angle as possible for a fairer comparison.

Hayley, at a glance, I legitimately thought your before was you trying to pass as male, and added the facial hair with either makeup or photoshop. Awesome starting point, and your "current" is astounding! You're beautiful!

So, I already posted this in "fabulous," but was kinda excited seeing this pic against an old one. So here's my contribution; before is shortly before I last cut my own hair, a little over 2 years ago. And then this morning, after cutting my hair last night for the first time since!

Livvy your looking exquisite!, very pretty. I too don't see any need for any more FFS, however you do what makes you feel great about yourself. For in the end it is your face.

My friends tell me I don't need any either but I feel I do, and I must follow my heart and do what I feel is best for me and makes me happy. I will however await my 2 year anniversary on hormones before making a final decision on which parts of my face need attention. Although now I can pretty much count on needing Rino  as my face is too small for my nose, lol.

Thank Allyda & Paige so much! :)

It's not major major FFS next Feb... Just nose tip retouch to give it the cute upturned pointy little manga style I love, a slight chin retouch, a fair bit of jaw chiseling (I wish I'd included my jaw originally) and hairline transplant.   

My surgeons are accusing me of stepping over the line from feminisation into female vanity (meh)... But as you said Allyda, you have to do what makes you happy!  This has to be it now though... my bod is tired from so many procedures! Facial fem retouches, GRS and VFS all within a couple of months of each other this year, really takes it out of you!  So the next FFS round is definitely it... Then I going to look forward to a holiday with no surgery, I'm thinking the Maldives! :)

It's hard to tell any progress with the dramatic angle in the after photo and since you already looked rather fem in your before it's just hard to see the changes. You look lovely though and 80 days is a very small time to see any major changes to the face. Which are all mainly soft tissue changes. A bit more time and some other angle and we will all be talking about how amazing your transition has been.

So I got new glasses and am just about to hit 15 months of HRT. Also I've lost around 40 pounds over the past year or so. The pics are as follows. Right before starting hrt. 3 months in (boy mode). New glasses (myspace angle, feel old for referencing myspace). And actual smile picture (which will be upside down but iPhones)

And this picture was taken today - 9.5 months AFTER starting HRT. It's really hard to notice any changes in your face until you look at old photos. omg omg omg omg omg. I really want chin reduction surgery though. My chin is my biggest insecurity, to be honest.

Okay, it's been awhile since I was last here but I figure this is as good a place as any to jump back into things.  This is actually my favorite thread, to be honest.  The transition process is almost magical, is it not?

So, I have been on HRT for appx. 5 months now.  There have been some substantial changes...substantial enough to be asked on a date once or twice this last week.   ;)

I like to show extremes, so here's a picture of me taken not even 4-5 days ago as a "female" and about 4 years ago of me as a "male".  My camera sucks so the quality is so-so...but for the first time, I didn't have to use fancy lighting, heavy makeup, or camera angles to get a "passing" picture of me, which feels good.  The "female"pic was taken of me around Halloween time:

Title: Re: The All New 'Before & After Topic (v 3.0)
Post by: April Lee on November 02, 2014, 01:29:42 PM
The "before" picture has been shown here, previously. It was taken about 7 years ago when I weighed about 90 pounds more than I do now. The "after" picture was taken this morning at about 4:30am. That was after a disastrous night of clubbing, where I had my keys stolen. That story has been told in another thread, so I will skip the details here, but it sets up a logistical nightmare for me over the next several days. That was added on top of a whole host of other issues I need to deal with the next several weeks because of my imploding marriage. I am about as stressed as I can be right now.

Yet when I look at this morning's picture of me I see something I really like. When I started HRT, I wasn't thoroughly convinced I wanted to transition. I wanted to try it on for size first. I had this crazy notion that if I was going to become a woman, I wanted to be the kewless 60 year old chick ever, and I wasn't even thinking about my chromosome makeup at all in that context. Of course, there was another part of me that thought that was utterly ridiculous.

Well, something happened along the way that actually sort of stunned me. The more I pursued that vision of myself, the more it became ok in my mind to pursue it. It was ok to be my authentic self, even if nobody else agrees.

In the after picture, I am actually looking at my image on the monitor. And what I see on my face is utter satisfaction with who I am. I am comfortable in my skin for the very first time in my life, and it shows. I like this April; I wish I had let her out a few decades earlier.  Oh, what trouble we could have made, but even at almost 60, she is still pretty kewl. I am wearing her now, and she fits perfectly.

Nope.  Not a lick.  The most that has been done to my face is one session of laser hair removal..  I could grow a beard like  Eric the Red so I had to make sure that didn't happen hahaha. I have 5 more sessions already lined up.  I started HRT I want to say back in late June/early July-ish.

Shantel, Thank you so much. I think one of the most beautiful aspects of losing all that weight is that a lot of the aches and pains have gone away. I used to struggle with my knees and my back. I hardly notice them at all any more. I have also regained a huge portion of my flexibility, and that has allowed me to take up the dancing that has become such a large portion of my new life.

Good for you hon! Nothing worse than being so overweight that you blow all the wind out of your lungs just bending down tying your shoestrings. Been there and have fought that, I hate it when I used to faint from oxygen deprivation.  :D :laugh: Just exaggerating a bit there.  ;D

I had really had a rough previous few days in the jungle there.. this was in march 2014. The 'after' is about two days old (November 2014). I find the change rather mind blowing personally. Also I don't have anyone to take a full body pic right now, but just trust me when I say I have lost a lot of weight and am a rather slender person now.. here goes..

Thanks :), I had a rather confusing moment when looking back through my photos a couple of days ago... When I saw the posted 'before pic', some part of my brain immediately said, 'damn, he's hot...' in a less than platonic way too :/ It left me feeling rather strange for a while.. (my attraction to men is pretty new by the way). Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Also, those islanders (the women) are actually amazing people, they run a guest house as a way of teaching other Bougainvillean women hospitality skills to help them eventually get jobs or run their own business. This is in an extremely misogynistic  country (there is no such thing as marital rape, approx. 60% girls have also been raped by the age of 16) with almost no education opportunities (especially for women), where there is almost no economy and almost no infrastructure due to severe little war 20 years ago where Papua (supported by Australia) came in and destroyed almost everything and massacred and raped tens of thousands of men women and children...
The Bougainvillean man in the picture was a commander in the Bougainvillean Resistance Army who fought the Papuans 20 years ago, and is a very astute person.

Thanks for the brief recent history, very interesting and something I hadn't known about. Bougainville was shredded during WWII and that's all I had ever heard of the place. You must be an Aussie, I'd love to see such places! So far my only big adventure was in Vietnam during that war, the 1st RAR was attached to our unit back then, I developed a fondness for Aussie Beer.

Love Kiwis too, Christmas of 1966 a Maori fellow shared a few shots of Christmas cheer with me in the Vo Dat Valley in the then Republic of South Vietnam, it was a memorable occasion for two lonely people far from home, hearth and loved ones.

Anyway getting the thread back on subject, you do indeed look amazing miss and it's been a pleasure being here with you!

Jesus H. Christ!!!  Claire (my mothers name too, and a beautiful one at that), I'd have never imagined that you'd looked like that before.  Good looking guy, but guy indeed; you look totally different in every way!!!  You clearly lost some muscle, I'm hoping that happens to me and I noticed a couple hand veins in your before picture.  Not as bad as mine I'd say, but did they tend to bulge  easily before?  Has HRT help make them less prominent?  Even if not, don't worry, yours aren't near as bad as mine from the look of it.  They really aren't bad at all, just curious.

Thanks :) Lol, that seriously cracked me up. I had totally forgotten what I looked like, that photo gave me a bit of fright when I rediscovered it, I must admit. Yes I did lose rather a lot of muscle, there wasn't that much fat on me, but it wet away rather quickly for some reason, I would say it was mostly gone within the first 6 weeks, I kept to a very restrictive diet though which helped I think. I'm still slightly more toned than I would like, but it will just take a bit more time.. Hand veins, well it was super hot and humid there (right in the tropics) and we had been walking a lot that day, so that's about as bad as my hand veins have ever been lol. I'm actually not a very veiny person generally, but HRT has definitely reduced potential vein-iness.. I'm definitely quite hard to get an IV line into these days... so HRT definitely helps a lot. I have much nicer hands now too, they look a lot smaller and more slender (muscle loss again I think), and they have that nice clear-whitish transparency going on most of the time, unless I get really hot, then they get a bit darker coloured which sucks. I'm still early in transition though so things should only keep improving a bit from here..
Well good luck with everything, and just remember, although ymmv, I've found HRT to be pretty darn amazing, especially if you back it up with good things like diet and exercise :)
Thank, I love the name Claire too :) (obviously lol) I had some other ideas but eventually you work out that sort of female person you are and you kinda know what names work and which don't work for you, and most people seem to agree that I'm a Claire :p
Take care :)

And this picture was taken today - 9.5 months AFTER starting HRT. It's really hard to notice any changes in your face until you look at old photos. omg omg omg omg omg. I really want chin reduction surgery though. My chin is my biggest insecurity, to be honest.

Lol, I always thought that I looked horrible! I'll see what I can do though :p I'm not sure if this sounds weird, but I do miss that guy sometimes, despite the fundamental flaws, he just tried so hard and had so many amazing skills and strengths. I kind of wish there was a way that we could have both existed separately, like we could have split into two people and that maybe he could have carried on; repaired, complete and happy; and that I could also finally live my very different life after being trapped for so long... I'm so happy as I am now :) But I feel like I've lost someone sometimes... does that sound totally insane?

Thanks :) I can hardly believe haw fast all this has happened... I can't wait for my hair to grow out though! You look really pretty too by the way :)

Claire

Aw :) thank you for the compliment!
When I look back and remember some good stuff i've done or been through in the past I do miss those things and times. But we're essentially the same people we were, we just hid and suppressed our feelings and ourselves, so I don't really feel like I lost someone, but I do look back at those good things with fondness :)
Omg, transitioning is so crazy! You don't really realize the changes until you look at a picture of you before transitioning, then 4 months in, then a year in... then you realize how fast and how much things have changed.
I grew my hair out while I still presented as a boy, but extensions are a great help until your natural hair gets there haha as soon as it's long enough you could get some clip in extensions if you want length faster :D I have some, but by the time I went FT my hair was a bit past my collar bone and I didn't need to wear them... still I sometimes use 1 or 2 pieces for volume lol

The bottom picture is very over exposed, which makes it too difficult to determine any changes in your appearance.

You've changed the way you hold your resting facial expression. Your bottom lip is out showing off your piercing and your eyes are more open and attentive. Also your posture is less male. It's still boyish but your shoulders are slung in a position that suggests youth. And overall you look younger which is where I was wondering when the changes would start as well. Now it's like I have all new skin and my face is more full and round.

It will catch up so be patient. There should be many more awesome changes in your future. And you're getting to be a fair bit cuter too ;)

I'm taking some basic pictures of myself each month after starting HRT. I've been on a low dose for one month now, so here's what we've got so far.

Before:

20 days and I'll get the first year mark :)

Few days after I met my therapist for the first time ( I took the next year to "repair" myself before going to him again)

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs27.postimg.org%2F3rb95j15f%2F33398_1548369748525_5520658_n.jpg&hash=0e3a057b808156a721270a8660d31ec40b5e9113)

This morning a little more than 11 months HRT (first time I look back on old picture, it's like I had FFS :O)

Can't find others pictures before HRT I lost them all.

And this picture was taken today - 9.5 months AFTER starting HRT. It's really hard to notice any changes in your face until you look at old photos. omg omg omg omg omg. I really want chin reduction surgery though. My chin is my biggest insecurity, to be honest.

Bit late of a response I think > ___ <. I really don't think you need chin surgery o.o. You look awesome and your chin isn't masculine in the slightest if you ask me. I like your face shape > ___ <.

I've been working crazy two almost full time jobs and trying to stay sane.  Recently they cut back some hours at one job which is a relief.  I definitely notice I still look guyish in that pic, but sometimes you can't control your excitement however little the changes.

It's quite common that we always dislike what we see and don't see any significant changes when there really are and others find it amazing how much we have changed. I look in the mirror and always see my dad's face looking back, I even got an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and neck lift surgery to change the family characteristics and I still see him looking back...... .Faaaak!

hun, only 800 calories...... you should consider raising that up a little.  we need calories to function, so 800 just isn't enough to provide the energy you need. Im sorry if I sound preachy. Its your body you can do what you want with it. Just 800 calories is close to starving eat up!

you really do look fantastic though...

800 is fine with me. 400 for lunch and 400 for dinner. I don't feel tired or lethargic. I see a doctor every few months. I get blood test every three. My health is fine and I have no complications. If it was adversely effecting my overall health I would fix it. But it's not so I'm happy with my diet.

ok I was just worried because that is like 1 of my 3 meals and I am still losing weight.... Its all about how healthy you are and what makes you happy. so if you are satisfied and healthy with 800 calories then do your thing.

I stuggle to get past 1200 calories each day so, uh... 800 seems like it's pretty foolhardy. I'm 105lbs this week and I'm trying to eat enough to gain.

I'm trying to lose weight. I am healthy and eating a enough to get thru the day. I am going to get to my goal weight and this is the best way for me to do it. I don't think there's an issue. I've been doing this for over a year if I wasn't healthy my doctor would've told me to change my diet.

Oh honey, I most certainly would want to do that!  :icon_geekdance:

On a related note, when I lost a bunch of extra weight over the years, I never paid attention to calories, just carbs. I cut out as much bread/pasta/sugar as possible. Lately I have hit a plateau though. My metabolism has gone down the drain for some reason.

Your body plateau's for a few reasons but the main one's are that, now that your smaller your body requires less calories per day to maintain weight, and of course, your metabolism slows down placing your body in "starvation mode."

If yours is caused soley by the former the plateau will be easier to break. Just eat fewer calories maintaining a good physical activity level. However from your description yours sounds like it might be the latter, or a combination of both, which makes the plateau a lil harder to break.

What works for me, and this may sound counterproductive, is I have to actually increase caloric intake slightly while also increasing physical activity a little to make up for the extra calories. In addition, keep the caloric intake varying on a day to day basis. Mix things up a little by switching the order of your daily routine and or physical activity. You should start losing again after doing this for about a week.

It should be noted tho that I've never been seriously overweight. With me it's those troublesome 20 to 30 pounds put on due to age and hating myself. During this last round I actually lost most of my targeted weight while on hrt, but I plateau'ed around 10 lb's shy of my goal of 105-7 lb's. I have recently before getting sick with the Flu, broke that plateau using the method described above.

I hope this helps. :icon_wink:

I had my FFS with Dr. Spiegel on November 4th.  I am very excited with the results.  I have lots of swelling, but bruising was very minimal.  So here is day 12 post FFS.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/HabnVg5-5cQWlI6kbYcdDjhI-WpBapcVTRJLxBAxZy0=w310-h414-p-no)

I am very excited on how the results will finally turn out after the swelling is gone.  My jawline will probably take 3months until the visible swelling is gone and the nose will take a year.  Dr. Spiegel is an amazing surgeon!!

I officially return to work Monday as Stacy!!  Everyone at my work has been so supportive during my recovery.  I look so forward to work tomorrow and tackling the new challenges in my transition.

I want to do a pre-FFS before and after.  I have FFS scheduled with Dr. Spiegel on Tuesday morning...Woohoo!

Yesterday, I went to go buy some new boots for this winter.  I was having a long conversation with the woman who was assisting me.  Anyway, she asked where I worked and what I did for a living.  I gave her a little bit of my work history as I work in operation support, but I did start as a truck driver.  She was surprised as she asked, 'are there many woman truck drivers out there?'  She never even considered I was trans.  My passing confidence is so much higher now as well as how I see myself in the mirror.

I am very excited on how the results will finally turn out after the swelling is gone.  My jawline will probably take 3months until the visible swelling is gone and the nose will take a year.  Dr. Spiegel is an amazing surgeon!!

I officially return to work Monday as Stacy!!  Everyone at my work has been so supportive during my recovery.  I look so forward to work tomorrow and tackling the new challenges in my transition.

Oh jeez, I get to follow all you bombshells, I should know better. But, after one year, it is important for me to share my progress. Transition takes a lot of effort. Hormones do not do everything.

More important to me than the transition progress, I hope these photos can show someone that you CAN transition and keep living your life as normal. You can have fun. You can meet new people. Life as you know it does not have to stop when transition begins. If this 38 year old can get results, so can you.

I try to pick the selfies with the same type of a Mona Lisa smile, so you can compare. I do smile. I promise. I look like I am catching flies but I am happy when I do it.

What works for me, and this may sound counterproductive, is I have to actually increase caloric intake slightly while also increasing physical activity a little to make up for the extra calories. In addition, keep the caloric intake varying on a day to day basis. Mix things up a little by switching the order of your daily routine and or physical activity. You should start losing again after doing this for about a week.

I think I'm going to have to try to eat a little more carbs/calories because I'm stuck in a vicious circle of being tired and not being able to excercise enough. Thanks for the advice!  ;D

The girls decided to show up this week.  It is the first "below the neck" pic I dare show...roughly between 5-6 months HRT and I get my next injection tomorrow.  I don't have as much makeup (and clothes) on in this pic as I usually do when I am out.

Just a case of showing what's possible here...

Here's a few pictures from pre-transition... a front view taken from a video still, as well as a side view from that same video just so you can see the sheer degree of maleness that we're talking about here that I had to overcome. I was in deep at the beginning of transition, and genuinely believed that I would NEVER pass because I was just too masculine. The third picture, which is what my face looked like close-up, is meant to be a comparison to the close-up at the end, and yeah... needless to say, miracles really can happen sometimes. The impossible definitely happened for me.

"BEFORE" PICTURES: (1/8/13)

And, well, here's my "after" pictures. The first one is a still photo from my most recent vlog, which is a very fair comparison since the first "before" picture was from a vlog too. It's my default appearance, since I tend to wear my hair in a ponytail.

The second "after" picture, I just took less than an hour ago. And, well, again, this is supposed to show people what's possible after 22 months of HRT. In both of these pictures, no makeup, no nothing, and I haven't had any FFS, this is just what hormones and weight loss did for me.

I'll openly admit, there is a SERIOUS disconnect for me when looking at my old pictures. I seriously don't even recognize that guy anymore.

Omg you're such a hottie.

I was talking with Dr. Spiegel the week before last, but it's so expensive just to have my nose straightened. Like... just too much.

Gosh you're so cute though x3.

Well, I had a conversation with my mother yesterday and every time I try to bring up TS issues and suggest that she might be in some state of denial, she keeps replying that I am delusional and I have not really changed apart of having longer hair, plucked eyebrows and fat butt. She keeps insisting that I do not have delicate features or frame (which to some extent is true, but I have decided to launch intense cardio for next months and really cut down calories to prove her that she is wrong). Needless to say, those kind of conversations are not very supportive and thoughts tend to sink in (except, she cannot explain why people quite often gender or treat me as female if it is just eyebrows and butt....).
I found really old picture of me which was made about 15 years ago when I was in quite good physical shape

This is 4 years ago (I guess..) and slightly buffed up with some extra weight

I see a lot of changes Emily and all for the better! Also you seem much happier too which to me is most important. I'm sorry to hear your Mom is doubting your transition. IMHO you look great! :icon_flower:

Emily you look fine and most woman would be happy to havw that waist line. I'm sorry to hear your family has hangups about it but it's better to be happy with who you are vs making others happy with you. Doing that just leads to insanity.  I should know I've suffered more than enough already.  :-\

Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.

I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.

Here is my unaltered picture and then an approximation of what FFS would do for me.  I used the approximation as my avatar for almost a year while I worked on getting insurance to pay for the FFS. 

Just a few days prior to leaving for FFS.  My life had unraveled.  The delay for FFS caused severe dysphoria.  My marriage was blowing up.  I couldn't sleep.  Very hard time.

This is me a couple days post FFS  with Dr Z in a full head pressure cast.  The nurse was super, Cole was super everyone was super.  It made a hard time much easier.  I smiled though the pain knowing it was right.

A few days ago at work.  I'm down 164 lbs and I'm Jennifer, I'm me, I'm happy.  Although, I'm still dieting with another 20-30 to go!  I'll make it....

It's never to late for anyone to be themselves.

HUGS!!!!

Jen

P.S  I also got insurance to pay for FFS AND GRS is now covered at 100%.  If anyone wants help with insurance, I'm here and I'll help.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jen- I am new to the forum, but your pictures documenting your amazing transition are so very, very helpful to me. Seeing how beautifully you have walked down that dark road is just so affirming and positive. This helps me at so many levels. Thank you for sharing that sequence. I will not forget it. Blessings, Sheila Grace

Tori, Releca, stephaniec, Ally - thank You :). I think that there have been changes too and the issue might be cause I do see my mother once every week or two weeks and she has adjusted her mental picture of me to my present looks. So she thinks, I was always like that. Sure, I do have bad angles and used to have before and therefore my passing is like 70/30, but I am intending to have some minor surgeries in future to which she does not object btw. It is rather that feeling that she thinks I am not worthy and still treats me like her son in most aspects. Anyway, I hope there are some more physical changes coming soon (not from HRT, but rather weight redistribution).

And btw, Crissy, in Your first pic, You would have been able to pass with longer hair and some makeup - You definitely have the features which are complimented by the HRT :).

I was doing some photography/self-portraits this weekend and saw one image was like a recreation of a picture I made about three years ago. Funny is that on the first picture I see a guy clearly, another a woman, also clearly. Even so.. I am not on HRT yet so there cannot be any significant changes.

I guess the small things do it o.o.

This one is a pic from like 5 or 6 years ago and then recent.

This one is since I started doing injections instead of pills for hrt. Both at work with no makeup on. Tried for the same angle and everything.

Thanks ya'll.  :)

That's a wig, but it's my natural hair color and part and also almost the exact same hairstyle my mom once had in the past, so it should be extremely close once mine is finished growing out. My mom was also extremely spooked how much I looked like her, in the future when I come back for the holidays i'd say claiming to be a distant cousin is probably out lol.  :-X

Still stuck in mostly dude mode until I finish up some business and clear out in January, but I feel a lot better about how things will turn out now.

< ---- Cannot wait to do this

Unfortunately it will be awhile.  I got some nasty shadow to get rid of first and then hopefully start hormones in another 7 months or so.  Me and my wife think it will turn out well as I am lucky to pretty much already have a woman's body minus the boobs.  Pretty much the worst of it is the fact that I have thick face hair and I'm already in my mid 30s, but I am super tiny and still only look like I'm 25ish.

What can I expect hormones will do to my face?  I think all I need are some cheeks.

Mandatory six month HRT anniversary timeline post incoming!

That's me with the Legos. Why start the timeline with such an early pic? Because that's around the time in my life when I started to wonder if maybe I was actually a girl. It'd be a long time before I found the courage to do anything about that though...

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1153.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fp503%2FJessica-Louise7%2FXmas90_zps48340ad7.jpg&hash=c305e1c47408a7a4ce6d596cc97d90cebb7fd664)

Oh dear... unfortunately this is the most recent photo of me dressed as a dude. For some reason this quote from Jaws comes to mind; "lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye". Oh yeah, and that's a tin foil hat to keep out the government's mind control rays. Problem?

This was just before the first time I went out in public during the day as a woman. This was several months pre-HRT, pre laser hair removal, pre growing my hair long so I was wearing a wig and I hadn't really mastered make-up yet... what really stands out to me though is the terror in my eyes and the pallid whiteness of my skin that was visible even through the thick layers of make up. I was absolutely terrified about leaving the apartment... but I did. :)

This is the last photo of me before I started HRT. I was starting to feel more comfortable in my own skin around this time and I was feeling feisty. :P

Finally I'm on HRT and I got my hair cut! This was a happy day. I haven't dressed as a guy since.

...aaaaand skip to the end. Today! About a year since I decided to transition, 10 months since presenting as female in public and 6 months since starting HRT and going full-time. A woman at the grocery store kept misgendering me repeatedly and loudly while her co-workers laughed today which was quite humiliating so I guess I still have a long way to go. That did tarnish my six month anniversary experience a bit but overall I think I'm making okay progress so far. Right? :-\

I think you look great Jessica! Awesome transformation! That woman in the store must have eyesight problems as you look totally feminine to me, and I'm not one known for sugar coating. I'm confident as you get more replies others here will agree with me.

Love the foil hat too by the way, lol! :D

You look great Jessica.  As for the woman in the store, I've never understood how mean some people can be to total strangers.   Perhaps she's jealous of how good you look?

I found a particularly bad photo from either early in my transition or before. I can't remember the date on this photo.

Taken with a DSLR but the lighting isn't that fantastic.

This one is from about a week or two after I started hormones while laying in bed.

Taken about two or three days ago to show the way my facial hair has become extremely light colored and nearly unnoticeable after shaving.

These were all taken yesterday. That's about 3.8 months into hormone therapy.

Looking great Jessica! That woman was obviously smoking something and needed her eyes checked. I see nothing but girl there. Perhaps you should have showed her some of the feistyness from pic #4... ;)

Guess it's time for a little before and after of my own.


This is probably about 3 weeks after I started electrolysis and 8 months pre-HRT:

Male Mode then:                                         Female Mode then:
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Ue0L6zARGr4/VHa_eSVj9rI/AAAAAAAAA4c/utY-n0WeyCU/w600-h800-no/Before2.JPG)                 (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-b9lI_8IQoM0/VHa_eUWR8AI/AAAAAAAAA4c/ODvLhz7ZZ4w/w649-h865-no/IMG_0423.JPG)


And then these are only a couple weeks old, so still pretty current. I picked them since they are similar to the other two. I was 8 months on HRT in these:

Male Mode now:                                          Female Mode now:

Might be completely silly of me but I always get a bit nervous looking at such pictures.. like.. I see great changes, really. I do not think you look androgynous but, well, maybe a little but leaning to feminine.
Why I tend to get nervous looking at such before and afters is because you clearly see a change.. but you can't point them out. It is simply the feminine version of the earlier pictures. Which is great :D! But, well, HRT sure does things. Maybe I just feel nervous soon starting myself. Never-mind my rambling xD.

two years on HRT 1 year full time... I decided to ease into my femininity a bit at a time.. I did not really comprehend how dysphoric I was. I thought being androgynous would help... it turned out to be full fledged woman hood with a need for GRS. Considering when I started HRT I think I really did get a lot from it :). I now have an ass!!! I suffered from plummer butt as a guy lol and I am sitting at a pretty solid c cup.. thinking I might wind up with small d's

Eevee, you might not see the changes, but I can.  Subtle, but the lower picture is definitely far more feminine than the upper.  Could be the little things like the t-shirt (male vs. female) or the way you've brushed your hair, but those tiny visual cues add up to people seeing you as female instead of male.

Great progress, in other words!

I'M ONE WEEK FROM BEING 11 MONTHS ON HRT! I can't believe I've come this far. I remember crying in my room last year because I wanted hormones so bad. I feel so blessed to live as my authentic self.

I will be 51 is three weeks. I was worried when I started, but in the last decade, saw so many others blazing the path. Amazing to see, now,  that there is a path. Back in the early 60's there was only rumors of a land in Northern Europe where there might be a healer. That journey was full of jungles and blood. Particularly for an eight year old. It may as well have been a fairy tale. - Dani

Danielle, you're absolutely stunning.  A masterclass in what a dignified, classy transition can look like for us older girls.  Screw the whole "gotta start when you're twenty or you'll be mannish forever" myth; you blow that out of the water.

Seeing yourself like that, especially considering the "before", must be crazy.  When you were younger - the wistful guy standing against the tree, for example (and surely there's a story behind that picture if you'd care to tell it) - did you ever dream you'd be the girl in the white dress looking nothing short of 100% feminine and 100% beautiful?

I have not learned how to quote previous posts. Also, I think I do not yet have all privileges that most members have for posting. And I am trying to make my photo sizes more reasonable. Sorry for clogging the forum. Please forgive my clunky formatting. . . 

Lavistaa, amber roskamp, Kaydee, thank, you!

Stephaniec, you work so hard on this site! Thank you. So inspirational. 

missymay, you are elegant. That chin... those cheekbones.  Really beautiful. Then I read a post you wrote, in the past, about "not passing" and all I could think was... huh? Really?

Brenda, what a lovely affirming post. Thank you so much. I would like to take the time to write, with much more detail, what I was thinking when I was younger. I will eventually... a short version is that my biggest thought was probably fear. How will I ever meet someone who will love a freak like me? Also, a big thought was... Am I mentally ill? Also... what is the cure?

I assumed all guys felt like they were women to some degree. I just assumed all other guys were much better at dealing with it. I thought all guys hated their penis and testosterone. I know this will sound silly today. It really was not until the mid-1990's and the internet and the sun slowly started to emerge. Hey! Wait a minute. What, maybe I am not a sicko?

But back in the 70's the only books I could find in the library, that seemed to describe my condition, were abnormal psychology books. And the chapter that was closest to labeling me was right next to the chapter on pedophilia, paraphilia and fetishes. I learned quickly, this is not something to tell anyone! When I was younger, I was like a root bound plant. Completely compressed in my pot.

katiej, the dress is Yigal Azrouel. It is called a techno jacquard dress. The color is: Bone. Thank you so much for noticing, you have excellent taste! :-) I bought it over two years ago (on sale) and the photo you see is the first time I finally wore it. I simply was tired of waiting for the right event or excuse. I thought, "Hey, it's Christmas! Good enough." Also, I guess, I am gaining confidence. I'm kind of at the point where even if somebody does clock me I'm hoping they'll think something like... "Hmmm, is that a transsexual? Well, looks like they made the right decision." But, I like to think that people aren't thinking that way.

So I wore my fancy dress to visit my dermatologist, then to pick up my mail and to the car repair shop. I literally just ran errands in it. The shoes are also over two years old but this was the first time I had worn those as well. I did not intend for them to go together... but they seemed so perfect... when I pulled it all together. I wanted to wear nude pumps... but practicality won. The dress is super comfy as are the shoes... so it is dressy, but yet - easy.

The photos with this post, which I took tonight after a short "girl's night out" (and three glasses of wine,) are of a Wolford dress. Similar theory of styling as the one from two days ago. Comfy and easy... but, well...a touch sexy. This black dress has an entirely different attitude: punk + risqué... Keep in mind this is for a 50+ year old.  So my punk is not my daughter's punk. Both dresses are a little body-con. But, thanks to the texture (ruching is my friend,) length and sleeves... the sex gets toned down. Also... wearing flats keeps it real. I love heels, but not tonight.

As a note, what I learned tonight, which is very reassuring, is that older men do seem to like me. I am not used to that at all yet, not at all. Men can be very aggressive and smart. Surprise. I do fear my voice and other remnants of 49 years of "acting male" still waft around me like a cloud. I hope to continue to gain more assurance and will probably fly to Korea to have VFS. But, more importantly, how do I get those men a little younger? (Actually, I put myself in the lesbian camp. But everyone tells me to keep an open mind. Good advice at this stage.)

Kind regards, Dani

Absolutely LOVE this photo!  It's one thing to take a good female selfie after hours of prepping and hours of sifting through hundreds of photos afterwards for the perfect picture.  It's a whole nother thing to be caught looking cute as a button in a random moment and come across as 100% unquestionably female.

Hi Monica,

You are beautiful and I am particularly jealous of your hair and shoulders. Is that too detailed? Probably, not on this forum:)

Kind Regards, Dani

So I wore my fancy dress to visit my dermatologist, then to pick up my mail and to the car repair shop. I literally just ran errands in it. The shoes are also over two years old but this was the first time I had worn those as well. I did not intend for them to go together... but they seemed so perfect... when I pulled it all together. I wanted to wear nude pumps... but practicality won. The dress is super comfy as are the shoes... so it is dressy, but yet - easy.

The nude flats dress it down but still keep it classy in classic monochromatic kind of way.  You could also wear it with a cardigan for running errands.

Your fortunate to have the hips to pull it off. I mostly stick to shift dresses these days and tend to shy away from the sheath or bodycon styles.

Thank you all so much. I knew you would all be kind and accepting and you have exceeded my expectations. I have included another photo here one month before I turned 47. I had completed Laser Hair removal by that age. But my public transition would not start for at least another two years.

If anyone has any specific questions about my transition, please ask, nothing is too personal (I do not think anyhow... we'll see.) I certainly will not be offended by any question.

I realize every situation has uniqueness. However, I think that there are many consistent stops on what is becoming a pretty clear path to a successful transition. Particularly when it comes to appearance. To me this was a critical part of my transition. However, I do think it has become less essential and will continue to become less important. I am sensing a shift in some areas of society that being clearly transgender, physically, is being celebrated. These are just pockets - but they are growing.  We are moving in the right direction.

I went to a drag show last night. Unbelievably, it is the first I have ever attended! If you can't wear heels to a drag show, where can you wear them? So, here two photos from last night. I am sorry they are so dark. I included the pre-transition photo to stay in keeping with the theme of this thread. Also, I included a photo with better lighting that for some reason two of my friends just love. I do not care for it... at all. I think my hair is a mess and my expression is very goofy. I include it because they love it and because it is a photo I would not normally share. I am trying to step out of my comfort zone and will try to get a photo up of me in no makeup at all even it is just a bathroom selfie. I do not wear a ton of make-up but I do love lipstick and mascara. I am still coming to grips with the idea of playing up only the lips OR the eyes. Not both! I am not averse to breaking rules. In fact I like it. But, I need to master the existing rules before I break them.

Kind regards, Danielle

Fyi... I think this will be the last photos I will post to this thread and I expect I will take down my  photos in the next week or so. I will probably post photos in the future but they should probably go under a different subject thread. (I will still try to do one without makeup.) I was wondering if I could get comfortable having my "before" photos up. I cannot seem to beat that discomfort right now. Every time I log in and see them, I still seem to get a little queasy. So, given the thread subject, if I take down the "before" I should also probably take down the "after".

Hi everyone how are you? Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season! I know I am! :) so I've been on hormones for 10 months and one day! How crazy is that?

Zoe! You are so fun! Your refreshing energy comes through your words. Are you hinting you have a "D" cup from HRT after such a short period? That is amazing. I am so jealous. I am lucky to have nearly a "b" after two years (is that an A+?) The Christmas recipe for the "c" cups in my photos? "To one cup flesh add two cups padding".

I hope to purchase something more luxurious... someday. Who knew salt water could be so extravagant?

Love your smile and the lipstick in photo 2.

Thank you so much for the kind words everyone! You're all gorgeous and wonderful! You inspire me so much! I hope that the holidays bring you each your individual happinesses, whatever they may be! Here are two more real good pics that really show how much I've changed and yes. I've gone from 175 lbs muscle to 125 lbs with 34D cup breasts in 10 months... Well closer to 8.5 months when I had to go up to the 34D bra... So yeah...you'll get wherever you're meant to be is my motto! :)

Awww, Carlita, you are so sweet. It is possible. Please also look for some photos of my "worst" as well. I think those are important to have a clear vision that it is not all glamor. Also, as a disclosure, it has been harder than I expected. But absolutely, for me, it has been worth it. No doubt. Finally, after two years, I am sure I am still in "transition" the tail end I would say with some confidence (I hope) but I do think it is a lifelong journey. Speaking specifically, to appearance, not emotion, I think I am 90% there. My voice needs work. I am not happy with my hairline. As long as I can afford it, I will probably get light doses of fillers and botox for years to come. But I not think that is a Trans issue. Kind regards, Dani

If I can, I am going to remove my photos from this thread. It has always bothered me when people took down their photos. But I am going to be that person. It is my "before" photos that really bother me. So sorry.

You have my girlfriend's style, and you look a lot like her too!

I don't think you should be worried about the D cup. But I'll be jealous!

Everyone is looking truly stunning. Remember you all act as inspiration for other girls who are wondering if they can ever make it themselves... so keep 'em coming. I know I put one up a while ago but here's another with a fairly tragic Before selfie I took about two weeks before starting HRT, lol.

Thank you Zombir (love your name, Mr. Gears,) I do like that outfit. It is so comfortable, I can wear on the airplane. Well, except, the boots could be a little easier to take off and on for TSA... -Danielle

I think you're very close to passing already. Most people say wait until about the 6th or 8th month to see any certain changes, and it's about 2 years before the full effect takes place. Just be patient, you'll get there :)

Don't be so hard on yourself.  To begin with, you're light years ahead of most of us - I'd kill for an end result like your five month result!

My suggestion: be more aggressive with your makeup.  You have delicate features, light hair, fair skin.  You could go far bolder with your colors to really make your eyes and lips stand out.  Your look right now is very natural, and good, committed makeup can generally turn even the most masculine of us into something pretty cute.

Skeptoid, I was going to say hair and makeup as well.  With a more feminine hairstyle and some tasteful makeup (light eyeshadow, mascara, and some lip color), I think you'd look really cute.  I haven't seen you from the neck down, but you look pretty good to me.  :)

As for my body, I've been asked if I'm intersex because of my hips. The right dress is really flattering on my body I think so I don't worry a ton about my figure. (Except for my shoulders and knobby knees/elbows, and veins!) Overally though, I'm pretty well okay with my body despite minor nitpicks. It's my face that causes me the anxiety.

This photo is about a year old, well before I started hormones. The second one is also pre hormones, hence the lack of breasts.

As for my body, I've been asked if I'm intersex because of my hips. The right dress is really flattering on my body I think so I don't worry a ton about my figure. (Except for my shoulders and knobby knees/elbows, and veins!) Overally though, I'm pretty well okay with my body despite minor nitpicks. It's my face that causes me the anxiety.

This photo is about a year old, well before I started hormones. The second one is also pre hormones, hence the lack of breasts.

Skeptoid, you have an amazing body; it's nearly identical to what a cis-woman of your frame would have  :)

No joke, photobucket is pretty awful. Your best bet for image hosting these days is imgur. Anyway, pretty incredible change. Just totally a different person.

As for the other stuff... thank you all for your kind words. I just want my face to be on the same level.

Hi everyone how are you? Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season! I know I am! :) so I've been on hormones for 10 months and one day! How crazy is that? Anyways just wanted to show some progress pictures. Also: has anyone else developed to a D cup after such a short period of time? Is this common or should I be worried?

Hello! Nice to meet you my name is Alex, im 32 years old and an artist and live in Cambridge England. Because of this amazing thread, and Emma B's inspiring video, and many other brilliant videos on youtube, I finally decided to take the plunge!
So not much of a before and after (yet!) more of a before before and a before! See what you think!
As you can see I have a face like optimus prime in drag, or if you somehow combined Mary Poppins and Dick Van Dyck into a single horrifying person.. and I dont care :)
I feel very excited and happy and proud for.. the first time ever! I dont really care too much about coming out, my family seem pretty much fine with whatever I do so long as Im happy and not making anyone else unhappy, and the friends Ive told have been super nice so.. who cares what anyone else thinks? I actually think I have it easy because all you brave girls did it already and paved the way.
Im going to see my doctor next week and apply to begin proceedings. I just got a great job so Im going to save up for some FFS and so on and start my life!
Im sure this will be a long tough road but compared to.. before, which was horrible, i think itll be a breeze,


If anyone is thinking about going for it, but is nervous, or worried theyre too tall (im 6.2) to manly (check out my chin!) or just feeling trapped or lonely (i know that one!) or anything like that well, me too, but email me and maybe I can help!
x alex!

Ps sorry for my rubbish laptop camera/phone pics, Ive asked my friend to help make me pretty and take some better ones when she comes back from holiday
Here goes!
Before before (very sad)

So thats before. Im looking forward to after, but in the mean time, woohoo! For the first time I can look in the mirror and not feel silly an horrible. Ironic huh!
Oh, here is some of my art if you would like to see (not just a bony face!) https://aj-brady.squarespace.com/home/
And again, if you need someone to talk to, well, as you can see I dont know much but maybe I can help, so hit me up.

Alex, you appear so much happier now that you've decided to do something about how you feel.  Your most recent photos look somewhat feminine already; you have great hair, big eyes and high brows - three things I'd literally kill for!

Let us know how the appointment with the doctor goes.  I'm sure it'll be a very positive experience, but please follow up and post details.

Glad to have you here.

(Wonderful artwork, by the way. :))

Welcome, Alex!! Good to have you here.

Your art is stunning. Some of it reminds me a bit of Chris Foss who happens to be one of my all time favourite artists.

Because of this amazing thread, and Emma B's inspiring video, and many other brilliant videos on youtube, I finally decided to take the plunge!

I. Love. Emma B!  She's so cheerful and happy...makes me feel hopeful.

And welcome, Alex.  I look forward to getting to know you better.

Almost 20 months on HRT and time for little overview (some people still claim that I have not changed - I guess, they are not really correct in that matter).
About 13 years ago
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fc49eXOT.jpg&hash=1cdced1ca3d2e1ce7db094ee7ea8f26e9af990d1)

Five years ago

Starting HRT (ugh, I was quite desperate when I took this pic and uploaded it on Susan's shortly afterwards)

8 months on HRT - the changes started to kick in

16 months on HRT

I am still changing every other month - it took quite a long time, but it by far exceeded any expectations which I had in the beginning for someone being almost 37 y.o.

I remembered what you looked like before HRT from way back then but that 5 year ago pic. Wow, never saw that one, you were so buff and stuff! I love seeing these series of pictures as people learn to smile. You can see it beginning to sneak in at 8 months :P

Emily,

You look amazing. Love that winter outfit you've got in that pic. The hat is adorable. Being in currently cold Ontario, Canada, I can appreciate your winter attire.

Also inspiring that you are about the same age as me. Gives me hope for the future seeing you late bloomers have success. :)
Title: Re: The All New 'Before & After Topic (v 3.0)
Post by: katiej on January 07, 2015, 02:16:10 AM
Emily, what sticks out to me is the fat redistribution in your cheeks.  Very feminizing. Yay!  :)
Title: Re: The All New 'Before & After Topic (v 3.0)
Post by: Sammy on January 07, 2015, 03:26:31 AM
Thank You for Your kind words, everyone :)

Seras - I was not really that buff (or at least I always though that I was rather small for a guy) - could never get muscle mass on, only pure strength, but at least strength was enough for pushing 2-3 guys of my size around :D.

Stephanie - LOL :)

Ameliato - yep, I love those types of hats very much (I have three of them in different colours) and despite being unisex they look good and keep the head warm (the only drawback is they make hair fuzzy which sometimes is very annoying).

katiej - yeah, pretty much most of fat goes into cheeks (especially the lower pair of them...).
To be honest, because of age (or maybe family genetics) the breast growth is kinda symbolic - just an A cup in 20 months, barely visible in summertime and completely flat in winter attire. Having read about others' unbelievable experiences, A cup is kinda meh, but, hey, bewbs are bewbs - face and hips are just as important gender recognition-wise (at least I have developed a keen eye to spot flat-chested women in winter attire :D)

Hi everyone!
I celebrate my 2 months on HRT.
Time for a checkpoint...

1998:  Fresh out of college, mis-gendered many times. Denial but tried to pop out a bit...
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi102.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm82%2Fsonia274%2FC5B3CAC2-A9A1-4822-8124-2513F28A9E88_zpscc5ju8v5.jpg&hash=05698555034cf543ae538f5ce12ecd76a19983a2)

2008: 'It will go away!' Yeah... Yeah...
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi102.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm82%2Fsonia274%2F8B470201-0A0D-461E-BE33-6174F0D9D008_zpsdpeu49sd.jpg&hash=746aeaab96244aa124f0ea176024d463df0f124f)

March 2014: 2nd therapy session and first time "en femme" in broad day light.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi102.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm82%2Fsonia274%2FIMG_2032_zpsb789bab6.jpg&hash=9ed630c134e48fc99ca9fbc237eb841c52386df7)

January 2015: 2 months on HRT. Decided to try to go to a supermarket and do some shopping. Nobody stared, nobody kicked me. Not even scared! Well, not true... Getting out of the car was a bit terrifying, then nothing.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi102.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm82%2Fsonia274%2FC2F38C77-BF32-452F-A05E-797ED6ECA90F_zpsq9qw84hz.jpg&hash=1842810265e31e924d349f6265035154317b138d)

Harsh comments? Seems kinda hard :D, cause judging from Your last picture, You are softening up and blending in just fine :). 2 months on HRT, huh? Give them some more time and You wont have any issues with passing :)

Btw, am I not mistaken to assume that this is the first time when You have posted pics of Yourself? Congrats on taking that step too - it takes a lot of bravety and guts for the first time ;)!

Hi Emily!

Thank you for your comment.
I know I still have a long way to go, moutains to climb.
You are doing good too! You have changed a lot!
As for the pictures, I posted some here and there in the main MtF thread.

Even though it is too soon for much physical change as it has only been 6 months into hrt, for me it is the eyes.

First pic with blue tee, it was that not often window in which I could see that lifetime of pain.
Second pic with the hat, I use the three A's Aggression, Anger, and Arrogance to cover up.
Third pic with leather jacket was at 3 months hrt, smile is now natural.
Fourth pic is recent and I am really becoming happy.

Next.......well I will wait for the outside to catch up with the inside.   Dani

After: 1 month HRT, 208 lbs (so far!)

Wow.  Attention you have!  Your before pictures look so...sad!  And your current pics are such a night and day change - not so sad anymore.  I always find it interesting how the transition process wipes the misery and despair off our faces long before anything else, and how our internal feelings clearly affect how we look on the outside.

You're doing amazing!  At this rate, I'm predicting you'll be one of those "WTF?!!?!?!?! No way are you the same person!??!!??!?!?!" before and after transition pictures. ;)

Can't wait to see the end result!

Thank you! I have FFS scheduled in July with Dr. Z; I'm also losing about 2 lbs per week hoping to settle at about 160. Any additional surgeries will be determined from there, but so far, I'm happy with the look.

Even though it is too soon for much physical change as it has only been 6 months into hrt, for me it is the eyes.

First pic with blue tee, it was that not often window in which I could see that lifetime of pain.
Second pic with the hat, I use the three A's Aggression, Anger, and Arrogance to cover up.
Third pic with leather jacket was at 3 months hrt, smile is now natural.
Fourth pic is recent and I am really becoming happy.

Next.......well I will wait for the outside to catch up with the inside.   Dani

Wow, 6 months and you already look years younger!

Thanks, I feel so so much more alive as well, maybe I should not even say "so so much", because now that I can compare, I used to just feel dead.

So many of the ladies I see here like Carrie Liz and others, when I look at the after pic I think to myself "if I had never seen the before pic, or if I were anywhere else on the web, I would not give a second thought as to them not being female.  Reality for me is, if I should never attain this level of change, who cares, the inside of me is happy.

To Aus76....keep going, your doing fantastic!!!  It may not look like it but my weight started at 210 lbs and now I'm getting close to 150 lbs.  You can do it.  Dani

Dani, you have gone from "American badass" to "extremely beautiful woman".  The first pic is someone who looks like he could rip me to pieces.  The second pic is someone who looks absolutely charming.

Regardless of whether you think HRT hasn't changed you much (and I think it's changed you far more than you see - your skin is so much better, your cheeks are fuller, and your entire complexion is relaxed and happy), you're right about your eyes.  And the differences between the two pictures are incredible - you're literally a completely different person.

Your transition thus far has been inspirational and most impressive.  Once HRT has been given more time to work its magic, you'll be an even more extraordinary success story. :)

So So Sorry Brenda, I sometimes am not thinking when I delete from Photobucket that it deletes it here to!!  Your words mean ALOT.  Your very sweet words does a heart good.  I need to figure out a better method than Photobucket, or be more aware (ah, not sure about that one  ;D  Thanks,    Dani

Added Words:  The comfort given here I really do not have adequate expression for, all I can say is that guy wearing the hat, his heart died over 45 years ago, it turned cold, and held not one single tiny space for feeling.  The words I've recieved here has breathed life back into someone who has only caused a path of destruction.  Second reason for this add on is I want no one to make the mistake that the t-shirt emblem is connected to that old person, it played but one part in his demise.   Dani

I'm not sure if this is the right place for these but they are kind of before and after! First ones are 5 months on estrogen. Second ones are four months after ffs with Dr Bart van de Ven and 11 months estrogen, 1 month blockers. I can't believe I ever left the house looking like I did!!

Ps please don't run my pics through any facial recognition sites or anything, it's really not something I want to know.  ;)

Why, because no one replied? I'll reply!

You look great, it looks like hrt is softening your face already. It's hard to tell much else though because the after photos have a lot of perspective on them. I'd imagine you'd look good with darker hair though.

Dana, it's amazing how much of a difference 7 weeks has made.  But IMO the biggest feminizing factors are your hairstyle and especially the eyebrows.  So cute!  HRT is definitely going to be very kind to you.  :)

Thanks! I appreciate it! Yeah, I think my face generally looks softer. Facial hair removal, eyebrow shaping and hair DEFINITELY help :-P. I'm getting antsy about body changes though. Not much difference yet. Skin is softer for sure, and nipples are more sensitive, but no breast growth yet :-/. Trying to be patient. I know 7 weeks is nothing in the grand scheme.

The absolute earliest I've heard is noticeable breast growth in 3 months, but most say 6-12 months at least.

I started about the same time as you (Dec 2), and the only differences I've noticed are slowed growth of body/facial hair, and my pee smells different.  I've shared a bathroom with my wife for 15 years, so I know the difference.  And mine now smells like hers.  Yes it's gross...but it's progress.  So...yay!!  :)

Yeah, I've heard that the 3 or 4 month mark is usually when legit budding finally starts. ::tries to be patient::. Also, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I noticed just this week that mine started to smell different, and also that my body odor after working out is starting to smell sweeter and less musky. Also it seems that skin softness is STARTING to set in.

@ Ennaria: I agree with Squircle, that the last few shots show some real progress, and another proof of why HRT is magic. :)
I also noticed that you've started being more subtle with make-up etc which seems to have helped. Is that the case, or was it just the selection of shots which makes it look that way?

Thank you cindy16. ^_^
As I progress with my transition, and especially since I've been feeling and seeing the changes from HRT, I've been adjusting my style to what I find works best for me. That seems to be ever-evolving. The makeup, or loud/bright clothes and jewellery, are what I felt were me at the time. With the help of people I trust, I've found what looks good on me, and what I feel good in. Most days, I'm very subtle (I don't have a choice at work, as I'm in the Military). If I'm going out to an event, I tend to get pretty done up.

I looked really hard to find just the time frame I have been on HRT, I only found one from ~3 months before.

2012
Pre-everything - I was looking (and feeling) kinda grim

This image from Virtual FFS in the UK really helped me decide to go for it!

2015
New studio photo I had taken for work...

I have to say, it's very weird to see the "before" photo now - I almost didn't post this.

Joanne:     You went from a great looking guy to a beautiful young woman!

Your pictures are helping a lot in removing my fears of not passing, I realize that both of your are exceptional but there is hope for the rest of us!

Next week will be my 1 year anniversary of starting HRT. Last night I went to a super bar party at a local club wearing the outfit in the after picture below. One of the bartenders, who knows me rather well, acted as an MC with a mike: "We are fortunate tonight to have one of the original Seahawk cheerleaders among us, Miss April".  It was so kewl!

Okay guys. Ready to get your mind blown? I recently went to the amazing Lady Ellen's here in New Jersey for an image consultation. This consisted of finding out what my sizes and colors were, what kind of cuts work best with my frame, and finally an in depth makeup lesson, because I have no idea how to do any of it. So. Here's the results from almost two years of transitioning.

You look great.

Yeah, the site is back up!

Ok, this picture isn't the best, the lighting is low which makes me look a little paler than I am, but I am quite pale. I am doing electro every week so only get about a day where I can shave and not look deformed, so not much time to figure out makeup. I have long way to go, but I am starting to like the changes to my face. I think I am doing ok for 5 months at 42.

October? 2013 about 10 months prior.

Yeah, the site is back up!

Ok, this picture isn't the best, the lighting is low which makes me look a little paler than I am, but I am quite pale. I am doing electro every week so only get about a day where I can shave and not look deformed, so not much time to figure out makeup. I have long way to go, but I am starting to like the changes to my face. I think I am doing ok for 5 months at 42.

October? 2013 about 10 months prior.

Thanks!! Nope, not yet, eventually probably, I don't like my profile.  The weight loss and and changes seemed to make my nose so much bigger, but things seem to be shifting. My face looked kinda gaunt and smooth at the same time for a while. ox

It's funny, the pic of you from 10 months ago is very similar to how I used to look before transition. We could almost have been brothers... secret sisters :P :D
Aw heck, I'll post a photo for reference:

Okay, maybe not siblings, but cousins maybe. Anyway, it's great to see another transitioner at close to the same age (I'm 39). Keep up the electro as often as your wallet and regrowth rate will allow. That's the only thing I wish I'd been more aggressive with. It's embarrassing on days like today when I'm growing my facial hair out for electro and have to interact with others while doing so :-\

Okay guys. Ready to get your mind blown? I recently went to the amazing Lady Ellen's here in New Jersey for an image consultation. This consisted of finding out what my sizes and colors were, what kind of cuts work best with my frame, and finally an in depth makeup lesson, because I have no idea how to do any of it. So. Here's the results from almost two years of transitioning.

Wow Shodan, you look fantastic! What an amazing transition, you look so happy now!


Can I just express how much I love this thread? I love to see everyone's journey on the path of living their truth. It's like watching a sleeping rose bud finally open up and bloom to it's full potential. You girls are awesome, thanks so much for sharing your journeys with the rest of us! I am am so happy for you all!!

I was very happy when I saw this post.  We both started here about the same time.  I believe that your road has been tougher though.  Your smile gave me tears.

You look great.

Big Hugs,

Jen

Awe thanks for the happy feels gals :D

It has been such a long journey in transition and I have so much left to do with my mental health but I can finally start finishing up the legal side of my transition. It is so amazing to think how much just a couple years makes for all the good and bad. I've been having a real rough week but this made me smile a lot :)

Wow thanks! Yeah, it was not easy to find examples my age with similar build and face, but there were a few here, >-bleeped-< and youtube that gave me the courage. I hope to be able to pass it along if I can.

I started electro immediately, even before hormones, wish I did it more before my face started getting softer. Now I do about two to three hours a week, and solo tv party   on the weekend with ice on my face. sigh.

Haven't been here since Aug 2014 and 5 months after here's my before and after progress, now approaching 10 months of hrt.

(Please don't quote the photo if replying it will be removed a little later. Don't want to mess up the forum formatting with an empty image link.)

Just wearing eye liner and some mascara at the moment. So far things seem cool. I haven't been sir'd since last Nov even without makeup. So I've really been walking on cloud 9 a lot lately. I want to try some new things with my hair like some subtle curls. But I'm still growing it out, length reaches the end of my sternum at the moment.

It's been a momentous 5 months for me to say the least!

This cracks me up as well, loved IT Crowd, and I am a fellow alumni of tech support. I dig your crazy (in a good way) hair color combinations and patterns.

I used to do support for Humongous Games, then Infogrames which became Atari. This was all the same company in the same building, I was at Humongous on 9/11.

My favorites were:

Me: "Ok, go to Start..."
Them: "WHOA, WHOA, Slow down..."

And guys from the south in a heavy accent would say "Do what now?"

Such a change to the appearance of your face when you have hair. If you are only just shy of 2 months, Girl, you are going to be a knock out in my opinion from what I am seeing.

Should be fixed. Sorry.
Ok so its been about 11 months on HRT so far. Figured I'd show everyone how I'm doing. I also wanted to give some hope as well. I've been seeing a lot of posts about people worried about transitioning in their 30's. I was 32 when I started my transition. I was extremely scared and i was convinced that I would ALWAYS look like a man in drag. I'll let the results speak for themselves.

Looking sharp, Nati.  Personally, I don't think you need FFS.  And I love those glasses.
Thanks! I love my glasses too :-)

@Joanne Feliz. Thanks!  I've always tried placing my best foot forward.  It also helps that i just naturally smile. My mom would just have to say the word smile and i'd smile  :D

@galaxy Danke! I was so nervous at the start, since i looked like that. I was planning FFS, but aftr 3mo all the ppl around me convinced me otherwise.

I'm still pretty early in transition just under 3 months now, so far so good. The worst thing is that I still only get gendered as male 100% of the time :( Well there have been a few time where I dont get gendered at all and a few girls will call me sweaty or honey which is better but still usually its he or sir.  I'm still only dressing androgynous in public so i guess that will change once i go part/full time.

anyways this was me about 2ish years ago.

You don't need FFS.  Your'e quite cute.

I cannot understand why I can't loose muscle mass.  I'm jealous. ;)

I got same problem, not loosing muscles was BIG issue for me, but now i'm eating healthy, and i workout 5 times a week HIIT cardio focused on lower body/core, i guess this is the reason why my muscles starts dissapearing and i got lots of compliments about my ''fit'' look and how young i look  :-)

And thanks JLT1 :-) but you dont have reasons to bo jealous, you look great yourself :-)

Yeah, the site is back up!

Ok, this picture isn't the best, the lighting is low which makes me look a little paler than I am, but I am quite pale. I am doing electro every week so only get about a day where I can shave and not look deformed, so not much time to figure out makeup. I have long way to go, but I am starting to like the changes to my face. I think I am doing ok for 5 months at 42.

October? 2013 about 10 months prior.

You looked a bit like Syd Barrett before your transition.

He's pretty so that's ok! ;) XD Also, thank you! I am happy I have my hair as I tried the wig route several years ago when it was shorter and I could not pull that off! D;

And thanks so much to everyone! I hope hormones help!! I am like... clawing at my soul to get them.. Not sure if that's safe. haha! I'm just starting to feel crazy and desperate!

Damara, you look really pretty, and as I've said before, I find it hard to believe you are not even on HRT yet.
If I may ask, is it just growing out your hair and facial hair removal, or you've done anything else too in your transition so far?

Leslie, that's a rather extraordinary transformation - extremely dramatic results.  And love the purple hair. ;)

I haven't had any facial hair removal yet! D: That's another thing I'm working on! Living in the sticks sucks! lol! But thank you so much! Honestly I wish that I didn't feel so nice when I get kind words because I feel weird and vain. I don't look all that great in real life. I know what angles look good in photos and what lighting etc.. but still it's so encouraging to have people be encouraging! (go figure! lol!) :D

Wow. That's even more surprising.

Btw, there is no reason to feel weird or vain just because of someone's kind words. :)
I know it is easier said than done, as I too have never bothered much about my appearance but now suddenly feel conscious about it, and wonder if I am becoming too vain.
Anyway, I hope you are able to find the right medical help, for HRT and anything else you may need. I can relate to the 'living in the sticks' part too, as my search beyond the city and state that I live in has still not yielded results.

Well I haven't been on Susan's much in a few months, but I know I always enjoyed seeing before and after pictures when I was starting out so I figured I would update mine for anyone who is curious.
The photos aren't the best and I'm planning to make a more formal timeline thing soon but in the meantime here it is:

This is me before transition in Fall of 2013:

I'm a little bit amazed myself, I've lost 50+ pounds, but my face and nose has really thinned out. Probably a combination of HRT and weight loss. I'm also 35 btw, so I'm pretty happy about my results.

I've noticed that a lot in before and after pics. The face really looses a lot of mass, the nose especially. You can see some big honkin' shnozzes become cute and feminine. That's why it's so important to let HRT do its job first.

I chime in here once in a while.

I just want to remind those of you who have not started transition, or wonder if you should ever start, they you too may get similar results compared to the beautiful ladies in here.

The changes are often not AS drastic as they appear at first glance. The changes are not to bone structure, not without FFS, it is just, we get to look at a person after their dysphoria lifted.

The biggest difference in most who post to this thread, is a peace of mind. A desire after years of dysphoria to look at ourselves in the mirror and finally put some time and effort into what we see. A newly discovered joy in looking at pictures of ourselves. A pride in finally taking the leap of faith and transitioning.

If you take the leap and put in the effort, you too will see results.

People will recognize your progress in photos as well as in real life. That joy is infectious.

I second this wholeheartedly, you don't know your potential until you try and honestly these threads and YouTube videos inspired me to try.

This thread, the fantastic, the happy and the passing threads are IMHO not trigger traps, they are inspiring and I truly wish they had been around for the 13 y/o me that could have used a confidence boost and some belief in myself.

Tori, you know the way..  you've walked this path as well, you've put, really, into words what the secret is.  Once the hood of anguish, the veil of anger, the mask we wear to hide who we really are.. once it is lifted.. the true living has begun, that is when who we really are becomes visible.  THAT is what others finally see.  For years, my life's song, and sig line, was Mulan's lament, When Will My Reflection Show, Who I am Inside...   :'(

Most of us who have been finally fixing this.. birth defect.. and been on the path for at least a while, know that it isnt wise to go thru any of the surgeries (FFS, VFS, BA, or even GRS) until we've been changed enough by HRT, as it will do no good to get facial restructuring, or breast augmentation before, hormones, or even just after starting as the changes will be totally unpredictable.   I see myself first working with FFS, but not for a while yet, until my face stops changing..  maybe I should make some really funny faces.. Mom always said not to, as my face will freeze that way.  Then Toby can work his magic that much sooner!   :P   

In all seriousness..  you did nail it.. once we begin to love ourselves, get to live ourselves, we really -will- begin to change.


oh, geeez Rachel... you look like my sister! 

Cindy .. oh my, honey, if you look ANYTHING like your profile pic, you're going to be stunning!!

Paige..  I was a 24-26" waist til senior year in HS, 28", 108lbs til 1st yr of college, 30"/124lbs @ 26yrs old (when I got married).. biggest, heaviest, 34" waist, 171lbs.. now.. I'm 33" waist (almost 32", size 7 jeans), 144lbs.

Girls, you'll find, and hear, and read us older girls telling you how good you're going to turn out..  we're really envious, that we.. well, I do, anyway..  wish that I had the .. (yeah, gonna use the words I sooo dislike, on you..) courage, and strength, to have really pressed my parents and said who I was when I was your age.   I tried at 12, and quickly shut up realizing the danger I was in.. times are different, so completely different now than they were then.   So, as good as you might think we are (I'm not), you are going to have all the years LESS T-damage we went thru, to overcome and be that much better.  No, I'm not saying this to stroke your ego, or give you false hope.. it's just more hope than we had at your age.

It is a bit of pity that I dont have any photos of younger age and thus I will never be able to make those "whole life timeline" videos. Buuuuut, on the other hand, it does not really matter :). 
So, my message is - You can do it (if such a lazy and self-conscious person as me could, then You can do even better! Gah, I am over 21 months on HRT and still have no clue how to use makeup! Shame :D).

I must be getting really confident to post this. Yesterday I showed up at my therapist in boy mode for the first time.  She was stunned at how much different I looked, and she has been dealing with the transgendered for more than 20 years. I have thought about posting pictures that would show how much of my change is HRT & weight loss, and how much of it is presentation. There is no question that my raw looks are radically different than they were a year ago before I started HRT.  But learning how to present has also contributed to my appearance. I think I look dramatically younger in girl mode.  I hope this might be informative to people who haven't started yet.

January 2014 – I weighed 70 pounds more than I do now

That is Natalia Tena, I liked her in the HP movies and I like the words she's signing here - 'believe in magic'. I've just added a message below my profile pic which clarifies who she is. :)

Can I have that sword? ;D Also, I'm 32 years old FtM and my sister had to do my makeup for grad/prom and other than that or being on stage for a show, I have never worn makeup, but shaving for the first time felt as natural as breathing. So, if a pre-T guy can feel that about first EVER shave, I think you'll be fine with makeup! :D

Hey, thanks for Your kind words :). That sword is long gone (but I still have three others - falchion and two baskethilts)- tucked away) - You can have them if You can handle them, dude, plus a sack with full set of german gothic plate armor :). Shaving... this "novelty" might kinda grow old with time :). I always wondered if guys feel the same when having that annoying and irritating stubble or for them it is different (I once decided that it might be cool to have that "three day stubble" look, eventually just could not bear that sensation.

The stubble is a different story from the actual act of shaving. I have terribly sensitive skin (was a great excuse to not wear makeup at least!) so am learning to do the shave and cope with the zit aftermath!  :-\

April Lee, you look great! You should have confidence. And, you can still do boy mode(although your chest may betray you some) but you look like a fem version of you now, your female mode pics are gorgeous, (even at your age, as you put it). It actually inspires me whenever I see you post. Keep being the real you.
Love Stephee

Yay!! Today marks my 1 year on HRT *happy dance*. What an incredible ride and it's only begun.  Let me know your thoughts on how I'm fairing so far.  I'm 9 months of full time living as a woman as well.

For some.. it's not really a decision or choice. It's more of a need. Like myself. I really need to transition. To be happy. As a guy.. I was such a jerk. Barely smiled. I had no idea what a bubbly/fun loving girl was inside my head wanting out. Maybe you have have one inside too? Do what you have to. Regret nothing. Just be you hun. If you need help figuring that out.. I'd suggest going to a gender therapist for a minute just to get some more perspective on it all. And there's a hundred or more people on here that'd love to help you. :)

Agree with you totally. I did not even have to learn to be like a woman after a while .. It just comes naturally and its because.. I was me all along just locked up.
For me no choice.. and I am 56... a little late in the game.. so I thought.. now I get more attention than I sometimes want... its wonderful.

Well, the thing is, I'm really fairly okay with my body, just needs a few changes. It's more in how I'm treated. I want to be seen as female, because that's how I identify, but...I don't think that's going to be possible without transitioning.

those are from a night out a couple of weeks ago which was something I would not have done as my old self, the before is from May last year I think.

And that is a perfectly ok reason to transition. it's always you're decision to make just inform yourself as much as possible and then decide.

Update time ... 9 months.

Still alive and kicking. Ups and downs for life in general, but I'm learning so much it's hard to keep up.

I am now being *told* by people that I am a woman. Even when I say I am not. Which I always do, because I'm openly trans.

Frankly it's hard for me to take in. I don't see what others do - I know where and who I've been.

But I guess things are happening now whether I am ready or not ...

I think I sort of look the same. I just have longer hair and lost some weight. Oh, and the beard is gone. I don't know if I have any old pictures of my old self. It's not something I really care to hang on to. In fact, I'm so camera shy, I only know of 7 pictures of me in existence. And three of those were selfies this last month. (one of which is my current avatar)

Stay with it, ladies! You are all becoming stunningly beautiful women.

Here's some pictures of my transition.  The first one is while I was still in denial, early 2013.  Second is when I accepted being trans, shaved my face and decided I was going to start transition, late 2013. Third is right before starting hormones, mid 2014.  Fourth is two months on HRT, November 2014. The other three pics are from the last couple days, 6 months hrt

Everyone posting since I was here last look just incredible!  Always, always these cause me to smile inside.  Mariah, thanks for the sweet words.  One of these days I hope to get my camera fixed (Canon digital slr/almost constant error 99 message) so I can put up something "without" my ever present sunglasses  :laugh:, but until then I'll just enjoy ya all.   Dani

My pleasure. I hope you get your camera fixed soon. If nothing else it's not like I don't get in range every so often. My iPhone has virtually replaced my camera. Hugs

And here's me 1 year after starting HRT, wearing the same shirt and no makeup or anything (trying to pass as male and pretty much failing lol :D):

April 2014. On the bus. Really depressed at this point and trying to make the final fight against transition, interlaced with realizing I couldn't fight much longer. I almost feel like crying seeing the misery in my eyes looking back at this old photo.

Wow, you've made amazing progress in such a short time on HRT and you definitely do seem much happier in your last picture. Though if you're like me, smiling in selfies can be oddly challenging >_<
Edit: Love your outfit and your hair style too, I tried to do something similar with my hair back when it was shorter, but I think it turned on better on you =P

Danielle what a truly amazing transformation. You are becoming a stunner.  :o

Quote from: Danielle Emmalee on March 28, 2015, 12:16:45 AM
Here's some pictures of my transition.  The first one is while I was still in denial, early 2013.  Second is when I accepted being trans, shaved my face and decided I was going to start transition, late 2013. Third is right before starting hormones, mid 2014.  Fourth is two months on HRT, November 2014. The other three pics are from the last couple days, 6 months hrt

Alaia I hope I can look half as good as you do after a year of HRT.

Quote from: Alaia on April 01, 2015, 06:42:49 PM
Ahaha, I forgot to post my 1 year HRT update.   :D ;D

Anyway, here's my before:

And here's me 1 year after starting HRT, wearing the same shirt and no makeup or anything (trying to pass as male and pretty much failing lol :D):

And then of course, when presenting as myself (pretty much all the time except around my kiddos  :-\)

Thank you so much! <3 **hugs back**

Wow, you've made amazing progress in such a short time on HRT and you definitely do seem much happier in your last picture. Though if you're like me, smiling in selfies can be oddly challenging >_<
Edit: Love your outfit and your hair style too, I tried to do something similar with my hair back when it was shorter, but I think it turned on better on you =P

Thank you!!! Yup. My life is laced with false smiles in photos. I'm not big on smiling. ;D Never liked to do it.

Haha, I guess I lucked out there. My hair lays like that naturally. :o So it doesn't take much to do that. I just need to use dry shampoo from time to time cause it gets oily. ::)

You do look so much happier in the last photo. Good luck with your future development.  ;D


Thank you! I am indeed much happier. :)

I have had just 6 months of hrt, and a small amount of understanding of makeup and clothes on the female side. Trimmed eyebrows also along with hair getting longer and a cute hat. So how am I doing?

I'M OFFICIALLY SIX MONTHS TODAY!!

The first six months have really been eye opening and allowing me to slowly open up towards myself and do something I've never done before.
Six Months later, I'm well on my way to happiness!
And I've still got a long way to go!

My confidence in myself is improving each day, I'm liking who I'm becoming and it's been one crazy adventure!
Hell I never took selfies before and right now I CAN'T STOP TAKING THEM!!

I can't do this without the love and support of friends and family and I just cannot words right now!

It's been f*****g incredible!

I'm finally alive. :D

And I still got more to go.

My name is legally Keaira. I might change my user name to Rainebow Dash though. Rains is my middle name and Dash is my CB handle.

Although you do look a tiny bit androgynous here, it's a really sexy sort androgyny that looks totally feminine!  It's an absolutely beautiful kind of femininity I appreciate!  Like, I think the most beautiful women are those who carry a hint of androgyny, and you really capture that sort of elegant femininity!

Hello, beautiful and dramatic change from your previous appearance. The old you kinda resembles "Sylar" Zachary Quinto, super villian from the TV show Heroes. The new you looks like a super heroine.

Thank you ladies for all the lovely replies, and gents if there are some here reading this,

I feel very lucky in my transition and I remember in the beginning, i was worried so much that I would never in a million year pass, also while having so many people ask how I would pass as I was sooo masculine.

It has been quiet a journey and I am happy with the results. I just wanted to share so that if there is someone else that was in the same boat that I was it, they would see that it is possible but it takes time.

Well, not exactly a before and after. This time it is a little way into transition, as the before, and a fairly current picture showing me a little farther into transition, as the after.

So this is me after one year of HRT. I literally cannot explain how much better I feel about myself. Yes, I have other problems. But this... this is no longer one of them. It's the best decision I've ever made for myself, hands down.

I just... wanted to share this with you guys.  ;)

I'M OFFICIALLY SIX MONTHS TODAY!!

The first six months have really been eye opening and allowing me to slowly open up towards myself and do something I've never done before.
Six Months later, I'm well on my way to happiness!
And I've still got a long way to go!

My confidence in myself is improving each day, I'm liking who I'm becoming and it's been one crazy adventure!
Hell I never took selfies before and right now I CAN'T STOP TAKING THEM!!

I can't do this without the love and support of friends and family and I just cannot words right now!

It's been f*****g incredible!

I'm finally alive. :D

And I still got more to go.

Congrats on hitting six months Trini! :D
You're coming along great, you have a nice slim figure. For me I really started noticing changes kicking in around the 6 month mark, so buckle up sista, you're in for a ride ;)

Hey everyone!  Just thought I'd share a couple! Actually seriously started transition at the end of June 2014 so around 10 months HRT + post laser hair removal/electrolysis (on-going).  No makeup and brows still on the heavier side!  Still not out to my employer though...Please be kind!

Awww, thank you so much!! 
Kinda funny/awkward story today at work...So a co-worker I had worked with prior to transferring to a different department saw me for the first time in probably 6 months today.  He jokingly said "You need to cut your hair because you're starting to look like a gir".  We were about to start a meeting so I sorta shrugged it off with a laugh and started the meeting...but afterwards, I realized it was sort of a compliment in disguise...and made my day for sure! ;D ;D

But yes, I have been trying really hard to make this a successful transition and glad to see its finally starting to pay off!  I think I'm finally getting beyond the awkward-ish in-between gender stages.  Just really need to find a voice that works for me...I'm either too high pitched and childish sounding or slightly below the average female range...its really hard to find that middle ground for me...a lot more practice I guess.

Sharing my before and after journey in a video. :3

From Childhood to 7 Months. Going into what I was dealing with growing up, finding my core group of friends in the unlikeliest of places, my depression struggles and ultimately coming to terms and beginning to love myself. <3

I'm very proud of my personal progress I've been through so far and things are freaking awesome!

Time for an update! It's been a few months, and I thought HRT progress was done with me a long time ago, but apparently it's still going.

Time to compare the best picture I ever took of myself pre-transition (seriously, this was like the ONLY flattering picture of myself I ever took before,) with what's now the best picture of myself I've ever taken post-transition. (Taken about 20 minutes ago.)

I think you look good I like the ones where your smiling the best... some of your other pictures are out of focus or are so soft that its hard to get a good sense of what you look like but I will say you look much better after and OMG how did you get so thin... just look at that arm... I'm jealous

Skeptoid,

To my eyes you look more natural in those BEFORE photos.
You already have a lot of feminine or androgynous features, especially your clean eyes.
Slight makeup, such as eyeliner and mascara, will greatly enhance your feminine looking.

I do not like the way the pictures I take with my DSLR come out. My skin is all messed up from electrolysis every single day of the week now. This was actually a week after electrolysis and I can still see how it messed up my skin. That camera is too sharp and picks out every little flaw. I swear up and down to you my skin looks better in person. Literally the only reason I am willing to share these at all is because I was out of town and thus missed one appointment so I was less messed up than usual when I took these photos. It's also not easy to take good selfies from that close with that sort of lens.

Your skin is really good actually. These photos are so much better than the other 'after' shots. I'm guessing you ran a smart blur on those or something? That's if you are using photoshop anyway. Either way they look heavily processed, I see quite a few pictures on here with the same look and it kind of takes away the point in posting them in the first place.

Anyway, you look great, I think you could actually stand to put some weight on so that you get a bit more softness (although your face definitely has lost some of the angularity of the before shots), but your features are very delicate and you have big eyes. :)

Yes. Now your AFTER photos look more natural. You may try outdoor photos soon.
Typically our face look more natural when an outdoor photo is taken in cloudy days.
Smartphone is not so good to take close-up photos, but is as good as DSLR in taking landscape photos. For example, one of my photos taken by my ex-smartphone, Iphone 4SE.

Actually while I do run photoshop express on my pictures (such as my avatar) to correct exposure and stuff, the softness you see is the front camera being affected by sunlight. When you take selfies with the front cam they don't come out as well as the back cam which has a better lens and OIS in my phone.

There can always be hope!

Well, around the time when this pic was taken, I did not think so. Whenever I looked into mirror and saw that reflection, I was thinking "No way... no friggin' way people would ever look at me and see as a woman. I wish I could send a letter to him from the future.

20 months - was still thinking that it's the clothing that does the trick.

24 months - I am starting to suspect that no matter what the clothes are, people would look at me and only see a woman. That is a bit scary (especially out in the dark and I do miss "his" physical provess at times), but liberating feeling.

Tiffanie, nice to see You back (I do remember You actually and was sometimes wondering how are You doing). I have to admit that there is more than wee bit of difference between June 2012 and today - You are glowing from inside and that shows on Your pics! And You are looking good and very happy :).

Thank you Emily  ;D  So much has happened since 2012, but it was all worth it.  I don't like those old pics, but I keep them to remind myself how things were before I started being true to myself.

I vaguely remember you, and I see a few other familiar names from then, but there are so many new names and faces  ;D

Oh, yes - people come and go, and I think at least two "generations" of newcomers have passed through since You last were here. There are folks who have gone completely and then there are those who chime in from time to time. Myself, I mostly read some stuff but rarely feel pressed to comment, unless somebody needs advice or some things need to be explained correctly :D. Was nice seeing that You are doing fine though :). Take care!

Two years of before and after  :o

Two years ago I looked at this photo as a 225 pound man and could no longer stand how I appeared or how anything I did, could ever mean anything to me. I looked at this photo and decided to finally start being the person who I knew I should of been in the beginning.  The many many years of questioning myself "why do I want to be a girl" seemed to finally push me to change.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F1_1.jpg&hash=251bc7215888519963de0ce4bd25a1e9af8fb5a1)

So I tried on a wig for the first time and I couldn't stop staring at myself for an entire afternoon.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F2_1.jpg&hash=91a4d2b683a1596d6e6c0297d3683b4cb14a6262)

I began attending therapy to determine if I truly had gender dysphoria. I also began dieting and exercising every morning. My hair had a huge balding patch in the front and it has been the vain of many struggles. However I stopped having my hair buzzed cut and it began to grow.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F3_1.jpg&hash=2d7b4fcc207d81d1b353c3e71ed09280afa3376a)

Then the hard part began, I started to learn and practice how to walk, talk, interact, and live as a woman. Even though I knew my appearances was horrid. My therapist still recommended I should dress more often instead of only at home on the weekends. I never left the house because it was not worth any negative social interaction looking like a man in a dress in my mind.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F5.jpg&hash=46fbd07cdcdf31b24c4db44bf78de5bc560b2a4a)

After enduring therapy for six months and finally beginning hormone replacement therapy, I called a close to year one.  This was the last photo I saved as male me. This was the starting point of my happiness and an end to constantly asking myself "why".
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F6.jpg&hash=a40138ff0205f7f0c99afb67ac3405271731e76f)

By some miracle I managed to find a fellow transsexual in my local town my same age. We became instant friends and I regard her as the truest friend I have ever had. She truly helped me to have confidence and I finally found someone who understood what I couldn't explain to others.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F7.jpg&hash=7d2d6e4e15f6a47dfbf5a2907e7601319284dd19)

So we move in together and share a house as friends. By this point I have lost 65 pounds and with waist cinching eight hours a day. My figure truly started to show and I could wear normal women sized clothes.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F8.jpg&hash=554481946508273e0440b4d82d50a8a70a8dbf1e)

Nine months of HRT pass by and I'm tearing myself apart having to switch from a man at work to a female at home. Luckily I kept my HR department at work up to date about my transition since day one of therapy. So my HR sets up a meeting with the Warden (the big cheese) and all they truly wanted to know was is if I'm sure about this and inform me of the increased danger of this in prison. So after explaining how I need to do this and how its been on my mind since early childhood. I was given the OK and began fulltime as a female. So yes I work as a corrections officer and yes I transitioned while working in a male prison.  This photo is my first day as a full time female.  :angel:

My hair is still growing out but I feel confident in how I look and how I speak. I'm only going to further improve with time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F10.jpg&hash=babea7337ef1a4b223ea337481492f87827c7d71)


So there it is, my full story with zero holding back! Two years as of today, of my hard work, stress, and determination is posted before you. But the best part out of all of this is...I can finally begin my life the way I have always felt it should have been. I've never been this happy and go getting in my life. All the hard times and pain was worth it, I cant wait for the future instead of dreading it now.  :)

Susans was my only insight to anything I felt and everyone here was always fun and helpful. I hope my pictures help more people as much as photos of others here have helped me. =)

I have to ask but do you get any hassle from colleagues or the prisoners?  Do you get any coming up to you and saying this is what drove me to prison etc your inspirational etc...  Was a great story and very inspiring

Keep a journal of all the hard work you did in dropping down to 150lbs. Years later, it gets harder and harder to lose. It's taken me a year to drop 40lbs, with another 50lbs to go.

I Call shenanigans I think the real reason why they don't want you to smile in those photos is because they all want you to be depressed that you're not living in New York City hahaha just kidding

In 2006 I got my DL at the MVC office in Randolph. I had a big smile on my face. That was around the time they had just put in digital driver licenses. I know some people who had valid non photo NJ licenses even as recently as 2003.

The biggest changes I see are boobs and shoulders look more proportional now (smaller). You look much better but it is subtle. However the bra could be creating an illusion but you look pretty good!

Interesting tidbit as well, the last 5 digits of your DL number are your gender, month and year of birth and your eye color. In fact the rest of the number is part of your name encoded.

So in the last 5 digits I now get a 5 and not a 0. When I change my name the middle numbers will change too.

Co-workers seem like a mix bag, most are pretty quiet about everything while others are very supportive and a few look at me like "your evil now" expressions.  So to bad so sad for the haters. I did not transition to please them! But overall co-workers seem unchanged with how they interact with me. Though I'm sure the rumor mill is turning full speed because I've already heard stories of myself...  ;)

As for inmates they constantly call me sir or bro or dude or F*g or every foul word you can think of. Even despite the fact almost none of them have seen me as a male and they somehow "magically" believe I look like a man. So foul name calling is an everyday thing I expect to hear now, so I just shrug it off as pointless bigots. But thankfully those "types" of inmates are in the minority. The actual majority just think I'm the new hot babe in town. lol :angel: So everyone wants to talk about something and I hear cat calls when I'm not looking from time to time. (But secretly I enjoy hearing the positive "signs" of transition that I'm not suppose to acknowledge while at work.  :laugh:)

One of my favorite quotes from an inmate that I over heard. " I dont care if she was a dude! I don't I believe it just look at her! Shes F***ing hot and better looking than most women around here!".

Two years of before and after  :o

Two years ago I looked at this photo as a 225 pound man and could no longer stand how I appeared or how anything I did, could ever mean anything to me. I looked at this photo and decided to finally start being the person who I knew I should of been in the beginning.  The many many years of questioning myself "why do I want to be a girl" seemed to finally push me to change.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F1_1.jpg&hash=251bc7215888519963de0ce4bd25a1e9af8fb5a1)

So I tried on a wig for the first time and I couldn't stop staring at myself for an entire afternoon.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F2_1.jpg&hash=91a4d2b683a1596d6e6c0297d3683b4cb14a6262)

I began attending therapy to determine if I truly had gender dysphoria. I also began dieting and exercising every morning. My hair had a huge balding patch in the front and it has been the vain of many struggles. However I stopped having my hair buzzed cut and it began to grow.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F3_1.jpg&hash=2d7b4fcc207d81d1b353c3e71ed09280afa3376a)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F4_1.jpg&hash=3c1fd7e3a03e87fe6e7d881b8fc39c745fb8dfee)

Then the hard part began, I started to learn and practice how to walk, talk, interact, and live as a woman. Even though I knew my appearances was horrid. My therapist still recommended I should dress more often instead of only at home on the weekends. I never left the house because it was not worth any negative social interaction looking like a man in a dress in my mind.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F5.jpg&hash=46fbd07cdcdf31b24c4db44bf78de5bc560b2a4a)

After enduring therapy for six months and finally beginning hormone replacement therapy, I called a close to year one.  This was the last photo I saved as male me. This was the starting point of my happiness and an end to constantly asking myself "why".
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F6.jpg&hash=a40138ff0205f7f0c99afb67ac3405271731e76f)

By some miracle I managed to find a fellow transsexual in my local town my same age. We became instant friends and I regard her as the truest friend I have ever had. She truly helped me to have confidence and I finally found someone who understood what I couldn't explain to others.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F7.jpg&hash=7d2d6e4e15f6a47dfbf5a2907e7601319284dd19)

So we move in together and share a house as friends. By this point I have lost 65 pounds and with waist cinching eight hours a day. My figure truly started to show and I could wear normal women sized clothes.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F8.jpg&hash=554481946508273e0440b4d82d50a8a70a8dbf1e)

Nine months of HRT pass by and I'm tearing myself apart having to switch from a man at work to a female at home. Luckily I kept my HR department at work up to date about my transition since day one of therapy. So my HR sets up a meeting with the Warden (the big cheese) and all they truly wanted to know was is if I'm sure about this and inform me of the increased danger of this in prison. So after explaining how I need to do this and how its been on my mind since early childhood. I was given the OK and began fulltime as a female. So yes I work as a corrections officer and yes I transitioned while working in a male prison.  This photo is my first day as a full time female.  :angel: 
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F9.jpg&hash=fba232e1a6c097fb4d4b865fb4fd1311f144a056)


My hair is still growing out but I feel confident in how I look and how I speak. I'm only going to further improve with time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F10.jpg&hash=babea7337ef1a4b223ea337481492f87827c7d71)


So there it is, my full story with zero holding back! Two years as of today, of my hard work, stress, and determination is posted before you. But the best part out of all of this is...I can finally begin my life the way I have always felt it should have been. I've never been this happy and go getting in my life. All the hard times and pain was worth it, I cant wait for the future instead of dreading it now.  :)

Sorry I worded it funny. I don't mean that I think it changed your bone structure. I think what your breast augmentation did besides making you boobs bigger was it made your overall shape much more feminine. Your BA really did a lot for your proportions  :D

Hi Here is my before and after, this is my first time showing my before.  :o I start back in the day that we don't really have camera on the phone so I didn't have much picture of me before it was 2003. So I hope this post is not too long

Me at 2003 (as fully a complete guy)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs29.postimg.org%2Fck35f9kqf%2FKoh_Chang007re.jpg&hash=73c8f1a3c93669c80403777432f86ca49beb2d30)

On my first years I didn't take much photo, as I hated myself, I dress up occasionally. I go around with wig, I thought I never going to be a woman. I want all operation in the world to make me feminine. I go on a crazy diet and lose 20lbs. It was the most depress time of my life.  Very low self esteem and feel bad with social.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs10.postimg.org%2F5wdxwaa9l%2Fpractice_127.jpg&hash=2f0f8aaf003c97dd9d792fc249214720e95a4d0d)

and This is my first dress up with a wig. This was like 2005 (I already forget this, this thread make me dig up these ten years photo again)  ;D This time my mind start to be like, I don't care anymore, I overcame the depress feeling. I gonna do the best for myself. I don't know if I going to be a woman or not, but I will just go on. I start going out to people, everyone, friends, parent, etc. As I was social independent, and job and financial independent, so I was like I don't cae if you accept me or not, I am here to inform you that I am a woman!! inside out. I lose some friend though but I feel so good at that time ^__^ It's like a relief feeling.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs17.postimg.org%2Fakmom99qn%2Fmsn_profile.jpg&hash=6d3a938a39003ae15bd690fe2a7e18dcad6d83f9)

Then I start HRT and grow my own hair  :D , no more wig ( I still keep that wig ) and this is me 1 year after HRT. I went to a party in devil costume.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs11.postimg.org%2Fmlkrfsrrn%2F20111231201245b.jpg&hash=0a77fedf8967c116aac15fee3bfb4f7e2632aeea)

And that time of my life, I call "Anything make beauty, you tell me" I start doing every things that make a woman look pretty, I learn many technique of make up, hair do, spa myself, treatment. I get hair removal laser treatment at my face and my leg twice a month for 12 months straight up. I was super pampering myself, I was really strict about my routine beauty treatment, I scrubed my skin every 4 days, I do facial mask every weeks with different formula, I cream myself everyday, etc. And this is the second year HRT result
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs27.postimg.org%2Fi65a4xutf%2FIMG_0043.jpg&hash=a94be2d2941bbe1bd3b748c0656c9376d50fa207)

That time was the big change, I was surprise too! never though so. And then on the third to forth year it start to go to the peak of transition, I think I look the best on that time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs1.postimg.org%2Fwqdmy26i7%2FIMG_20130429_150253.jpg&hash=63f7fde7c583a6b8463495153c1baece8e813561)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs18.postimg.org%2F674dyzdax%2FIMG_20130427_140204.jpg&hash=33bb119156be587cba642b8edb77b404181518d4)

My first swim suit photo
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs10.postimg.org%2F62ni50ayh%2FDSC_3627.jpg&hash=7a18f52d00e0cebdc1746042b32ad4f1e04f150b)

Then after that, it more like try to keep yourself like that  ;D and I start to want to have a little sexy girl masculine look so I start to go to gym again, but doing different exercise than when I was a guy and this is the result, this is me last year
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs24.postimg.org%2Fvn3swgnqd%2F10559627_10202537506575072_720631499_o.jpg&hash=c2c48c336d80b2475cbe1952bc3125218dbee73e)

so the exercise I regular do at that time was the running, abs works like sit up, I turn on youtube and search "train like an angle of Victoria Secret and regular do it. And it turn out really healthy. I use to be really afraid of exercise when I first start transition as I don't want any muscle, but after sometime I learn that if you are on HRT you won't really gain that muscle like guy did.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs17.postimg.org%2F6d1jod40f%2F1924848_10201700670454692_1102207344_o.jpg&hash=6b5cbf9ee6b3b95578ee275c0212f444864fafa3)

And today, it's been more than ten years, I admit that I really loose myself. I didn't really care much on myself. I enjoy eating no more control!!!  my weight is getting over control, too many fat covering me. I getting older, I start to gain wrinkel, scar. now I try to fight weight control, the weight keep going up and not come down. I try to keep myself look young, even though I am not LOL. I plan that I will turn 50s like Madonna  ;D .  And today, I still didn't get any surgery that I plan on the first year of transition, I just get the laser treatment for hair and continuously HRT. I still plan on doing breast imp, but something always came up. I went several doctor and sit right there and something make me decide " let's do it later then " :P And I am pretty scare of getting cut too. I didn't even get the ear pierce as I am too scare  :o

This is recent of me,

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs29.postimg.org%2Fck35f9kqf%2FKoh_Chang007re.jpg&hash=73c8f1a3c93669c80403777432f86ca49beb2d30)

On my first years I didn't take much photo, as I hated myself, I dress up occasionally. I go around with wig, I thought I never going to be a woman. I want all operation in the world to make me feminine. I go on a crazy diet and lose 20lbs. It was the most depress time of my life.  Very low self esteem and feel bad with social.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs10.postimg.org%2F5wdxwaa9l%2Fpractice_127.jpg&hash=2f0f8aaf003c97dd9d792fc249214720e95a4d0d)

and This is my first dress up with a wig. This was like 2005 (I already forget this, this thread make me dig up these ten years photo again)  ;D This time my mind start to be like, I don't care anymore, I overcame the depress feeling. I gonna do the best for myself. I don't know if I going to be a woman or not, but I will just go on. I start going out to people, everyone, friends, parent, etc. As I was social independent, and job and financial independent, so I was like I don't cae if you accept me or not, I am here to inform you that I am a woman!! inside out. I lose some friend though but I feel so good at that time ^__^ It's like a relief feeling.

Then I start HRT and grow my own hair  :D , no more wig ( I still keep that wig ) and this is me 1 year after HRT. I went to a party in devil costume.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs11.postimg.org%2Fmlkrfsrrn%2F20111231201245b.jpg&hash=0a77fedf8967c116aac15fee3bfb4f7e2632aeea)

And that time of my life, I call "Anything make beauty, you tell me" I start doing every things that make a woman look pretty, I learn many technique of make up, hair do, spa myself, treatment. I get hair removal laser treatment at my face and my leg twice a month for 12 months straight up. I was super pampering myself, I was really strict about my routine beauty treatment, I scrubed my skin every 4 days, I do facial mask every weeks with different formula, I cream myself everyday, etc. And this is the second year HRT result
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs27.postimg.org%2Fi65a4xutf%2FIMG_0043.jpg&hash=a94be2d2941bbe1bd3b748c0656c9376d50fa207)

That time was the big change, I was surprise too! never though so. And then on the third to forth year it start to go to the peak of transition, I think I look the best on that time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs1.postimg.org%2Fwqdmy26i7%2FIMG_20130429_150253.jpg&hash=63f7fde7c583a6b8463495153c1baece8e813561)

My first swim suit photo
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs10.postimg.org%2F62ni50ayh%2FDSC_3627.jpg&hash=7a18f52d00e0cebdc1746042b32ad4f1e04f150b)

Then after that, it more like try to keep yourself like that  ;D and I start to want to have a little sexy girl masculine look so I start to go to gym again, but doing different exercise than when I was a guy and this is the result, this is me last year
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs24.postimg.org%2Fvn3swgnqd%2F10559627_10202537506575072_720631499_o.jpg&hash=c2c48c336d80b2475cbe1952bc3125218dbee73e)

so the exercise I regular do at that time was the running, abs works like sit up, I turn on youtube and search "train like an angle of Victoria Secret and regular do it. And it turn out really healthy. I use to be really afraid of exercise when I first start transition as I don't want any muscle, but after sometime I learn that if you are on HRT you won't really gain that muscle like guy did.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs17.postimg.org%2F6d1jod40f%2F1924848_10201700670454692_1102207344_o.jpg&hash=6b5cbf9ee6b3b95578ee275c0212f444864fafa3)

And today, it's been more than ten years, I admit that I really loose myself. I didn't really care much on myself. I enjoy eating no more control!!!  my weight is getting over control, too many fat covering me. I getting older, I start to gain wrinkel, scar. now I try to fight weight control, the weight keep going up and not come down. I try to keep myself look young, even though I am not LOL. I plan that I will turn 50s like Madonna  ;D .  And today, I still didn't get any surgery that I plan on the first year of transition, I just get the laser treatment for hair and continuously HRT. I still plan on doing breast imp, but something always came up. I went several doctor and sit right there and something make me decide " let's do it later then " :P And I am pretty scare of getting cut too. I didn't even get the ear pierce as I am too scare  :o

This is recent of me,

Hi Here is my before and after

Congrats!Asian genes :) I noticed that HRT works very well for ladies of Asian descent.
eg Alicia Liu(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flh5.ggpht.com%2F_j56sqgz-BSs%2FS-ju1Cv4kpI%2FAAAAAAAAD3Y%2FfrVDJR_xRKw%2Fs1600%2Fxiao%2520ai43.jpg&hash=fb1abce20e68fd70088471299db7172d28ce07fa)(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdata2.whicdn.com%2Fimages%2F50900268%2Flarge.jpg&hash=d69537f0e8e4bfb213e6d8a9486782402bdfb664) or some of my Facebook friends..they achieved great results.

You look very natural on that photo, which is sharp and clear.

I have never been on HRT, always hesitating to show any Before and After. I could enjoy expressing my femininity even without HRT.

I guess, may be because asian have smaller bone frame, but the rest if hormone effect like skin, muscle, fat layer, etc suppose to work the same for all.

Co-workers seem like a mix bag, most are pretty quiet about everything while others are very supportive and a few look at me like "your evil now" expressions.  So to bad so sad for the haters. I did not transition to please them! But overall co-workers seem unchanged with how they interact with me. Though I'm sure the rumor mill is turning full speed because I've already heard stories of myself...  ;)

As for inmates they constantly call me sir or bro or dude or F*g or every foul word you can think of. Even despite the fact almost none of them have seen me as a male and they somehow "magically" believe I look like a man. So foul name calling is an everyday thing I expect to hear now, so I just shrug it off as pointless bigots. But thankfully those "types" of inmates are in the minority. The actual majority just think I'm the new hot babe in town. lol :angel: So everyone wants to talk about something and I hear cat calls when I'm not looking from time to time. (But secretly I enjoy hearing the positive "signs" of transition that I'm not suppose to acknowledge while at work.  :laugh:)

One of my favorite quotes from an inmate that I over heard. " I dont care if she was a dude! I don't I believe it just look at her! Shes F***ing hot and better looking than most women around here!".

I guess the rumour mill is the worst thing.  I can understand people like to gossip at work and that wears people down if they dont have a thick skin(i don't, im pretty sensitive). 

Is funny that some of your inmates think your hot.  That's pretty cool.  You look good in your uniform girl!

God I'm praying that happens to my hands.  I'm most worried about my hands.  The hair I'm not worried about, there not so hairy and what's there is going to be removed; there also big, not too much of a concern though with them being pretty skinny.  The veins are really what bothers me most though.  Anytime I do any kind of work or it's hot they come right out and there pretty developed veins too.  Literally makes them look like different hands all together.  I don't know if it's because I'm skinny and don't have much fat over them or if I'm particularly well veined, but I'm hoping they become less pronounced.  I don't mind my hands when there no bulging, but they usually are.  Guess I'm hoping for my forearm veins to have a more difficult time protruding too.

Oh... and nice nails.

I guess, may be because asian have smaller bone frame, but the rest if hormone effect like skin, muscle, fat layer, etc suppose to work the same for all.

Yeah,I'm interested in Asian genetics..(different teeth sinodont/sundadont (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3pKOh.jpg&hash=ed345da1adcb72153d5d2ca4d7b186dfde23806d) ,Asian blush-not being able to tolerate greater amount of alcohol  "Most Europeans have two major isozymes, while approximately 50% of Northeast Asians have one normal copy of the ALDH2 gene and one mutant copy that encodes an inactive mitochondrial isoenzyme ) etc

All that interest comes from the fact that my 3yo son is half-Chinese and my mother although she's caucasian she looks so Asian that in Vietnam and China they thought she was one of local people.I was concerned that she may have hemochromatosis(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.intelligentdental.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F06%2FPigmentation-of-the-skin.jpg&hash=e6a87708848eb53f0f89ac2b04ce841e070bfa29)..all other siblings are pale..Anyway I'm offtopic,sorry :icon_redface:

I do not like the way the pictures I take with my DSLR come out. My skin is all messed up from electrolysis every single day of the week now. This was actually a week after electrolysis and I can still see how it messed up my skin. That camera is too sharp and picks out every little flaw. I swear up and down to you my skin looks better in person. Literally the only reason I am willing to share these at all is because I was out of town and thus missed one appointment so I was less messed up than usual when I took these photos. It's also not easy to take good selfies from that close with that sort of lens.

I occasionally take a bunch of selfies and date them specifically because I wanted to document the effects of estrogen on my face(I also wanted to do other things, like my hands specifically, but I always forgot to, now seems a bit late). I posted some selfies last night to my blog and then thought to myself why not make a then and now post, since I've never done that. I had never even really looked back on old photos. Well I put up the now photos next to photos from a year ago, and jesus, it's actually weird to look at. It's hard to take note of the changes because you seem them happen slowly every day and acclimate to them on a daily basis, then you compare old photos though and it takes you off guard. It's almost disconcerting at first because usually you don't deal with your face altering appearance that much that quick, and it's weird how it's both you(I assume this is kind of what it's like for people who have plastic surgery to their face?).

wow thats an amazing transformation of your hands.  did you do hair removal on them or did the hair drop out because of the hormones?

Hair removal on the hand. Arm hair became very fine (I'm part asian).

I hope my hand/arm vasculature changes. I hate my prominent veins. I'm 10 months on HRT now.

I once thought that the chances of ever seeing me in the mirror, would never become a reality. Now I know that dreams can come true. I'm 43 years old, but never in my life have I felt better!

I know I posted this throwback before, but even since then, I've noticed so many changes that I can hardly believe it. I once thought that the chances of ever seeing me in the mirror, would never become a reality. Now I know that dreams can come true. I'm 43 years old, but never in my life have I felt better!

OM(f)G! You dont look like You are 43 y.o. btw, and You look totally hot! What a great change (and serious weight loss!) - I could kill for Your waist, btw :). And You totally rock! :)

You look fantastic!  It does take hard work and effort but we can become who we want to be. I've got 11 years on you in age but am way behind you in time in transition, but I too have never felt better. I've still got a long ways to go before I can say that my dream has come true. But everyday the nightmare of what was me is chipped away a little bit at a time.

I feel blessed to be able to come to this site every day and find one or two things that can inspire me to continue on and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.  You, girl, are my inspiration for today!  I will keep up my running and light workouts so that someday I rock my running shorts the way you do yours. Hugs!

Emily- Thank you for the kind words! There were a lot of wonderful, but bad habits I had to break to get where I am today. It wasn't easy, but as I started to see progress, I became more determined than ever. And BTW, you rock too!!

Jessie Ann- Also, thank you! You look fantastic too! As long as you keep your eye on your dream, you will get there. The ride is just as wonderful as reaching your dream, as long as you stay on track, and it sounds like you are. Very, admirable! I'm also honored that I can be inspiring to you in some way, and maybe some others. I have a strong place in my heart to want others to achieve happiness, and if I can in some way contribute to that, then I comforted.

You are definitely looking MUCH younger and leaning into more feminine side. 9 months on HRT is very little and there are big changes ahead!

Body, nose and face shape have changed but beside that I don't see much difference. Face is still a problem for me.  :\  I don't know.

Are You sure about that? ;) Or it's the perspective - like being on the left at the spot where pic was taken as opposed to being on the left from point of view of photographer (and my displey too, quite accidentaly), or ...  Oh, well. Looking damn good (in both cases, lol).

I was wondering the same thing Emily.  But if you're the one on the "left", the beautiful girl, then yes, very pretty.  And, might sound weird, but you have the size breasts that I hope to grow with hormones.

Uhm..... I would say that you must be looking at a different set of pictures than what you posted. Your face is adorable! I mean absolutely cute, demure, and I'm too good for you all at once. Not that I'm saying you are stuck up... just that there's a certain level where beauty transcends a line where some men fear to tread because they feel so insecure. May I say good for you!

The top left photo is when I was around 20 years old. The top right photo is about four months pre-HRT. Then the bottom left is about 3 months of HRT. And finally the bottom right was yesterday at 8 months HRT  :). I'm also about 45lbs down from that top right photo.

Was to is, is who is the question. First person is he as in the first picture, second picture is she? I conjecture[emoji41]

Thank you! A lot of it is the things that have nothing to do with hormones. Learning how to do my makeup, (almost) completing facial hair removal (I have a little left, but you can't see it with just normal makeup), learning to shape my eyebrows, growing out my hair etc. I mean, hormones definitely have changed me. My face is way softer looking than it used to be, but it's those secondary things that hormones can't change that I think help put me over the edge.

Haven't posted on the before and afters for a while! Figured it's time for a new one :-).

The top left photo is when I was around 20 years old. The top right photo is about four months pre-HRT. Then the bottom left is about 3 months of HRT. And finally the bottom right was yesterday at 8 months HRT  :). I'm also about 45lbs down from that top right photo.

You look absolutely beautiful Dana!! I'm very jealous of your hair!! :-* xxx

Thank you!!! Y'all know how to make a gal feel good about herself :-).

And thanks, my hair is one of my favorite features. Male pattern baldness runs in my family on my mom's side and I was one of three boys, obviously pre transitioning, and then on my mom's side I have five male cousins. So we always used to say, at least one of the eight of us is gonna go bald... Now it's only one of 7 boys muwahaha. Oh life after quitting manhood haha. I'm just glad that if it was going to be me, I started HRT before I had any thinning haha. Though I don't think I would have gone bald. My hair was super thick even pre transition with no sign of thinning or receding at 25. My goal is to grow it out to Kardashian length :-).

A long time ago when I was getting a haircut, I mentioned my fear of going bald, and the woman cutting my hair said that most of the time in her experience, if someone is going to go bald, she sees signs of it as young as 19/20. So if you don't see any signs of it yet, you're probably okay!

Any chance of starting HRT any time soon? Then you won't have to worry about it anymore.

It won't happen overnight but, if you're worried about hairloss you should probably think about taking finasteride.  It lowers the DHT in your system that causes hair loss.

WOW!  There are so many fantastic changes.  My best to all.

Sorry, I do not know how to bring an image to here so let me refer to elsewhere.

I mentioned this at my site (https://slimandme.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/incognito/) where I posted my comparable pictures. I guess I did alright.

   (//)   (//)

A sister site extracted and posted four of my photos side-by-side as I have done on my own computer - yep there were good changes.  I wish I could remember whose site so that I could credit them and send you there.  Maybe it was Susan here, or Kira.  I'm an old-timer - I started in 1974, began ERT in 1979, operations in 1982 and 1983, and finally finished transition in 1985.  No regrets.

I know it does it's why I normally compare to a pic that is 1.5 to 2 years older than that pic.  So few pics are around and none of which I actually took. As far the baby that is my youngest niece who will be 2 this New Years Eve. Thanks Grace. Hugs

I'm always amazed at how people can change with JUST an attitude change. Acceptance of one's self, clothing, hair, whatever. I've always felt that most of us get the most out of getting rid of facial hair more than the hormone treatments.

Sorry, I have nothing newer.  I'm a photographer, I take pictures; people don't take pictures of me.

Um, I look horrible at least to me. And managed to get rid close to twenty extra pounds so far.

And this was taken last Thursday

Sarah, you look amazing!

Lady Smith, thanks! You are right it is like my fairy godmother used her magic wand. What I've done so far to get where I'm at. Cut out all drinks that are full of sugar and caffeine. I did have one a couple weeks ago just to try it out. And it made me sick rest of the day. I've cut out all processed foods, again like the sugar drinks I tried one a few weeks ago. And it made really sick with an upset stomach the next day. Along with that  I'm pretty much vegetarian. Also I've cut back on my video game playing to just one hour a day if that. And the big thing I'm really watching my hygiene.

That's fantastic!! You look related - sort of like brother and sister maybe? But it's really hard to say that you're definitely the same person. I'm a little jealous of how good that really is - even with the long hair you look guy to me in the first picture. Yet it's like the male has just vanished in the second!! What did you do to him?!?  ;)

In fact I am really his sister. And you know what, he just pissed me off, so I get rid of him and buried in the garden.

Okay just kidding :D.

Thank you for the nice reply :). I tried to make comparison reliable, so I have chosen same place and I didn't have any make-up etc... I like your idea of brother and sister, it is what I was thinking about when I palced the photos side by side.

And you look happier!

Two years of before and after  :o

Two years ago I looked at this photo as a 225 pound man and could no longer stand how I appeared or how anything I did, could ever mean anything to me. I looked at this photo and decided to finally start being the person who I knew I should of been in the beginning.  The many many years of questioning myself "why do I want to be a girl" seemed to finally push me to change.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F1_1.jpg&hash=251bc7215888519963de0ce4bd25a1e9af8fb5a1)

So I tried on a wig for the first time and I couldn't stop staring at myself for an entire afternoon.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F2_1.jpg&hash=91a4d2b683a1596d6e6c0297d3683b4cb14a6262)

I began attending therapy to determine if I truly had gender dysphoria. I also began dieting and exercising every morning. My hair had a huge balding patch in the front and it has been the vain of many struggles. However I stopped having my hair buzzed cut and it began to grow.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F3_1.jpg&hash=2d7b4fcc207d81d1b353c3e71ed09280afa3376a)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F4_1.jpg&hash=3c1fd7e3a03e87fe6e7d881b8fc39c745fb8dfee)

Then the hard part began, I started to learn and practice how to walk, talk, interact, and live as a woman. Even though I knew my appearances was horrid. My therapist still recommended I should dress more often instead of only at home on the weekends. I never left the house because it was not worth any negative social interaction looking like a man in a dress in my mind.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F5.jpg&hash=46fbd07cdcdf31b24c4db44bf78de5bc560b2a4a)

After enduring therapy for six months and finally beginning hormone replacement therapy, I called a close to year one.  This was the last photo I saved as male me. This was the starting point of my happiness and an end to constantly asking myself "why".
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F6.jpg&hash=a40138ff0205f7f0c99afb67ac3405271731e76f)

By some miracle I managed to find a fellow transsexual in my local town my same age. We became instant friends and I regard her as the truest friend I have ever had. She truly helped me to have confidence and I finally found someone who understood what I couldn't explain to others.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F7.jpg&hash=7d2d6e4e15f6a47dfbf5a2907e7601319284dd19)

So we move in together and share a house as friends. By this point I have lost 65 pounds and with waist cinching eight hours a day. My figure truly started to show and I could wear normal women sized clothes.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F8.jpg&hash=554481946508273e0440b4d82d50a8a70a8dbf1e)

Nine months of HRT pass by and I'm tearing myself apart having to switch from a man at work to a female at home. Luckily I kept my HR department at work up to date about my transition since day one of therapy. So my HR sets up a meeting with the Warden (the big cheese) and all they truly wanted to know was is if I'm sure about this and inform me of the increased danger of this in prison. So after explaining how I need to do this and how its been on my mind since early childhood. I was given the OK and began fulltime as a female. So yes I work as a corrections officer and yes I transitioned while working in a male prison.  This photo is my first day as a full time female.  :angel: 
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F9.jpg&hash=fba232e1a6c097fb4d4b865fb4fd1311f144a056)


My hair is still growing out but I feel confident in how I look and how I speak. I'm only going to further improve with time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F10.jpg&hash=babea7337ef1a4b223ea337481492f87827c7d71)


So there it is, my full story with zero holding back! Two years as of today, of my hard work, stress, and determination is posted before you. But the best part out of all of this is...I can finally begin my life the way I have always felt it should have been. I've never been this happy and go getting in my life. All the hard times and pain was worth it, I cant wait for the future instead of dreading it now.  :)

You look amazing! Care to share waist cinching information? Would love some reputable resources. Well done!

I think I now have this before and after thing all figured out. The trick is to pick worse and most masculine before picture I can find, and if it looks a little bit goofy, that is even better. Well, I just found a new before picture, which I think qualifies pretty well.

Before and after makeup?

Yes. Sometimes without makeup can look better.

Yes. It is a gradual, but substantial achievement. Above all, your confidence is more important than your appearance.

With Mariah's help and like's reply we'll get this posted correctly to this thread; I removed all the parentheses.

Here goes for your comment.

*

1973 (age 16 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1973-02-xx-kathy-nick-slim-at-thasos-e1437236738121.jpg?w=169&h=205%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1973-02-xx-kathy-nick-slim-at-thasos-e1437236738121.jpg?w=169&h=205)
This picture of Slim and me (my sister Kathy to my right) was taken at Thasos, a Greek island near where we resided our second year living at Greece.


1976 (age 20 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1976-08-follansbee-3-slim-and-boyuks-ohio-river-view1-e1437489174306.jpg?w=169&h=277%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1976-08-follansbee-3-slim-and-boyuks-ohio-river-view1-e1437489174306.jpg?w=169&h=277)
This picture of Slim and me was taken when I did not know the term 'stealth' in those days, but that was what I had been doing since August 1974 when I began my transition.  Neither my dad (to my left) nor any other relative had the slightest idea what I had been doing for two years as well as the future that I planned, my feminine protesting notwithstanding.


1981 (age 24 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1981-xx-xx-work-id-photographs-e1437490720808.jpg?w=167&h=176%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1981-xx-xx-work-id-photographs-e1437490720808.jpg?w=167&h=176)

This picture was what people saw in 1981.  ERT was too late to stop that shadow.  Oh well, it would be gone in a few years anyway.


1985 (age 29 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id-e1443824984134.jpg?w=173&h=179%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id-e1443824984134.jpg?w=173&h=179)

This picture was from my Pima Community College student ID.  This is similar whom both a diner and a gas station operator saw that day a month or so earlier when I appeared as Sharon to them; they did not recognise me from when they last saw me as my male predecessor Nick (1980).  Now don't I appear chipper!  Look, no more shadow!  It's a wonder what ERT, plucking, and electrolysis did since 1979.  I boldly wore no make-up that day of student ID pictures.


1988 (age 32 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id1-e1443825083731.jpg?w=173&h=208%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id1-e1443825083731.jpg?w=173&h=208)

This next photograph was from my Food Stamps ID card.  My counsellor was correct – long hair with the part in the middle made my long face appear longer.  I later clipt off 14 inches and still had hair shoulder length.  Of course I kept it - I have three of them.

This next picture was from my 1996 MVD drivers licence.  Not bad for an MVD picture.  The MVD picture that followed this picture made my teeth appear black.  AGH!  I refuse to post my current MVD picture, it is THAT bad.

Here I am after 10 months of HRT but before FSS (left) and then 13 months later (5 months after FFS)

Truly astonishing. One of the finest jobs I've ever seen. May I ask who did your FFS and what procedures? Thanks!

Here goes for your comment.

1973 (age 16 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1973-02-xx-kathy-nick-slim-at-thasos-e1437236738121.jpg?w=169&h=205%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1973-02-xx-kathy-nick-slim-at-thasos-e1437236738121.jpg?w=169&h=205)
This picture of Slim and me (my sister Kathy to my right) was taken at Thasos, a Greek island near where we resided our second year living at Greece.


1976 (age 20 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1976-08-follansbee-3-slim-and-boyuks-ohio-river-view1-e1437489174306.jpg?w=169&h=277%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1976-08-follansbee-3-slim-and-boyuks-ohio-river-view1-e1437489174306.jpg?w=169&h=277)
This picture of Slim and me was taken when I did not know the term 'stealth' in those days, but that was what I had been doing since August 1974 when I began my transition.  Neither my dad (to my left) nor any other relative had the slightest idea what I had been doing for two years as well as the future that I planned, my feminine protesting notwithstanding.


1981 (age 24 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1981-xx-xx-work-id-photographs-e1437490720808.jpg?w=167&h=176%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1981-xx-xx-work-id-photographs-e1437490720808.jpg?w=167&h=176)

This picture was what people saw in 1981.  ERT was too late to stop that shadow.  Oh well, it would be gone in a few years anyway.


1985 (age 29 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id-e1443824984134.jpg?w=173&h=179%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id-e1443824984134.jpg?w=173&h=179)

This picture was from my Pima Community College student ID.  This is similar whom both a diner and a gas station operator saw that day a month or so earlier when I appeared as Sharon to them; they did not recognise me from when they last saw me as my male predecessor Nick (1980).  Now don't I appear chipper!  Look, no more shadow!  It's a wonder what ERT, plucking, and electrolysis did since 1979.  I boldly wore no make-up that day of student ID pictures.


1988 (age 32 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id1-e1443825083731.jpg?w=173&h=208%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id1-e1443825083731.jpg?w=173&h=208)

This next photograph was from my Food Stamps ID card.  My counsellor was correct – long hair with the part in the middle made my long face appear longer.  I later clipt off 14 inches and still had hair shoulder length.  Of course I kept it - I have three of them.


1996 (age 40 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1996-07-23-mvd-licence-use-this4-e1436453356886.jpg?w=164&h=227%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1996-07-23-mvd-licence-use-this4-e1436453356886.jpg?w=164&h=227)

It's good too see you all could transistion. And it's very motivation too see the 'before and after' pictures. But do anybody know where the FTM-before and after pictures are? I hasn't seen any FTM thread like this at Susans place. Only MTF.

My FFS was performed by Drs. Luis Capitan and Raul Bellinga of Facial Team in Marbella Spain.  I had forehead reconstruction, rhinoplasty, lip lift and trachea shave.  Here is a better view of what they were able to accomplish (3 months post-op)

Wow!  The docs knocked that out of the park!  That's a massive change, but importantly it's pretty subtle too.  You don't look like you've had any surgery; you just look feminine.

Great results.

Thanks! Got a small amount of electrolysis, I kinda switched gears to get the genitals done before SRS but planning on getting more on the face since the hair is there still., just blonde. A lot of the darker hairs are gone from a combination of HRT and the small amount of electro I got on my face.

It's been a bit over a year since I started transitioning, so I thought I'd show my progress even though I haven't been active here. I'm not really happy with the way I look, but I decided I'd take the picture without any makeup for a more true image of the differences.

Before:

About the only big difference I'm noticing with myself is that I am trying to smile more. It's working well enough to keep me from hating myself entirely. My boyfriend keeps telling me that I look great, but I have a tough time believing him every time I look at myself.

I definitely see changes! Your face has rounded out nicely, and I'm not sure if it's just the smile, but your lips also look a little more full. You look awesome! :)

I'll be honest, this scared me. Look at how freaking different I look now compared to the first pic!

My head shape was more fatter back then, my hair receded and my skin was horrible.

Internally I'm more paranoid in thinking I still look like the left one, but that is not true. It's hard convincing myself since I had that image of me for 25+ years. @_@

I'm completely different now and just need time for my new self to settle.

Well, I made it through v1, v2 and v3 :anon: Feeling so encouraged by all of you lovely ladies and the amazing transitions you have experienced. Hope is here and change on the horizon.

One thing I have noticed... what is with all of the musicians??? LOL we should start a trans band :rollseyes:

Here is my 8 month's of HRT before and after.  I saw my Endo on Tuesday and he said that he was surprised at how quickly I have changed.  I have to agree that there has been just a wee bit of change take place (not all of it HRT) :)

I've posted before and afters in another post but why not in the official topic? :D

I've been on hormones for seven months and have had seven laser sessions so far... And I've lost a ton of weight. I am still not super happy with my appearance.. I think it's just hard for me too see my new self.. plus my body isn't as feminine as I want.. flat booty no hips.. boxy chest/waist... but face wise I feel quite surprised and happy with how I look most days.. lol! Dysphoria it seems will ever be lurking for me..

I was looking more disgruntled than I probably was.. pulled an all nighter twice to finish some art for a show.. lol! Anyway... not a happy human really.. not as happy as she could be.. lol! Dat facial hair. Circa fall 2013

Pic 1 is nice, but there's still something borderline about it.  Pic 2 isn't passing.  Pic 3 is really nice... you look very soft.  That's my honest opinion and this is coming from someone who literally has a crush on you haha!!

If you're scared to go out... maybe try this:

Dress fully and just take a short drive.  No stops at first; no need to even look at anyone.  Keep driving until you feel comfy just stepping out of the car and getting some gas.  Then you buy a pack of gum and a drink at a 7-11 or something to engage the clerk.  Do this out of town if you still feel nervous, it may help.  Then go shopping... say hi and smile to people you see.  You just slowly get more comfortable doing things as the real you until you're simply living life.  Wade into the deep end~

I know a lot of girls post here and other sites asking if they pass (or will pass, or stand a chance to pass pre-everything etc), but you'll see that once you start being genuine, the world will tell you if you pass or not.  We can judge a 2-D pic and get an idea, but honestly:  the world in 3-D and in technicolor is going to tell you the raw truth... whether you like the news or not.

I can soooo very relate to just starting out and wanting so very badly to let 'her' breathe to curb dysphoria and all that jazz, but realize:  1 1/2 months isn't much time at all and the best to come is still a ways away.

In the end, you'll be fine as frog's hair.

Archlord, the shadow gives you away in these pics but you said you didn't use foundation, so..... you're doing very well.

Hey Girl. Like the others have said your beard shadow is the issue.  Once you get some makeup that will cover that you should not have any issues. 

I first went out in public about a year ago and it was scary and exciting.  I thought I would just drive to my credit union and deposit a check.  Then I lost one of my press on nails so I had to go to a store and get a replacement.  When nothing happened and no one looked at me funny I knew, I knew I would transition.  I ended up going to a couple other stores and getting a few more female clothes.

So the only way for you to know is to try.  From what I have seen you are going to get some looks, looks of guys who are going to be checking you out.  Good Luck Girl!!  You will be fine and once you get over that first step all the others will be easier and easier.

Beard shadows show blue, so you'll need an orange hue to counterbalance it. Some people use a certain shade of lipstick after a very close shave, others will use an orange concealer. I haven't done this much myself because you are further a long with this than I am but that's what my research has shown me.

Wish I could help but I didn't have that issue.  My facial hair wasn't really heavy and dark and so I could get away with a good foundation and then bronzer on top.  I also had a lot of grey hairs so there wasn't as much dark area to have to cover. 

Katelyn's comments are what I have seen as advice for others who have the same issue as you. 

At least your lucky that you can do laser on your beard.  I've heard it is faster and cheaper for clearing than having to fully go the electrolysis route.  I have just done electrolysis and I am just getting to my first complete clearing after about 75 hours of treatment, and that took 13 hours of zapping.

Archlord, looking good  ;)... you're blessed with a feminine face, and very cute features!! You should definitely take a look into a foundation,  helps with the shadow a ton. Luckily it looks like your facial hair either comes off very nicely or is thinner, and I bet you won't need much to cover. But laser +1! 

Ok so Here is a before, middle, and after of me going from boy mode to girl mode today. It was the first time I ever stepped out of the house at Kelsey. I put on my big girl panties and went to the ATM for money, and then to my Therapy appointment, woohoo! My Therapist said she had to do a double take, didn't recognize me at first. I did get 'clocked' so to speak pretty bad, and the guy said 'thanks man' at the end of our convo, but what more can I expect LOL.
Anywho, it was an experience, one I'll need to become more confident with ;) No Hormones yet, my therapist is referring me to someone more versed in GID who can write the appropriate letters. I hope this isn't a before and after hormone thread? I have read through all 3 but somehow missed if it is or isn't :facepalm:

I tried to get a closer shave and to apply a little councealer on upper lip beard zone ( i applied it once, waited 30 min and applied another time).  My face is all natural except this (no foundation, no mascara,  no eyeliner, no blush, no lipstick, really my face).

is it better for the shadows? :)

I dont think your shadow is noticeable at all. I don't think you will be clocked for your shadow. I think you blend very nicely and if you went out in public you'd have nothing to worry about and everyone would "ma'am" you and treat you like a lady (unless your voice is super deep or something). You have very feminine facial features and in my opinion you make for a very attractive woman.

Archlord. Kelsey, and others:

If I may repeat here, I had one certain way to eliminate shadow before and during the midst of electrolysis:  I plucked out my facial hairs.  I could do my entire face in about one hour while watching TV during the evening before bed; sometimes I did it on a Saturday morning to get a fresh, clean face for weekend efforts.  My results could last from a few days to more than a week.

I could go out without the need for facial base make-up to cover the shadow.

There were the benefits that it damaged the hair root and it built my pain tolerance for the electrolysis so she could set the device on a high setting and zap more hairs per session.

*

'V', you did exactly what I did.  I began public transition by getting dressed and driving to another city where I would fill the gas tank.  Later, I'd muster the nerve to get postage stamps at the Post Office machine or munchies at a quickie mart.  Then I walked along the central city streets to window shop; the plate glass worked as a mirror allowing me to watch if someone was watching me with a good glance or a bad glance.

Getting out and about built my confidence.  With confidence, passing became easier and easier so that I challenged myself to eventually go as the new female me to places that knew the male predecessor me; no one gave me a second look.

My biggest success was attending an outdoor Christmas day holiday event at a church (not my own) where the security officer knew my male predecessor personally and last saw that male 'me' in October.  I chatted with that guard for a minute or two as I entered as Sharon; he made no reaction as if he recognised my female 'me' as my male predecessor 'me'.  Wow!  Proof that I can do it.

Look at my timeline; this did not happen for me over-night, but took months and years to build my confidence.

*

Everyone looks hot!  Yes, it is amazing what we can do.

Sharon, thank you for the kind words and post. I do distinctly recall your photos and story from earlier - very inspiring! One thing you said that gave me a chuckle, is plucking while watching TV. Maybe I'm not coordinated enough, but I could see that being a total disaster for me!! Did you use a mirror, or all by feel?? I'm impressed either way. Right now I am having laser done on my face, so no plucking allowed since it disrupts the growth cycle, but they say to expect 10-15% reduction each treatment with possible slowing and thinning of what remains. Seems like an eternity at 4 weeks between each session! As for your method with plucking and channel surfing, maybe I'll try it on my chest? I am sort of at a stand still at the moment... 27th I plan to break the news to my wife, and will hopefully have a better long-term trajectory after that weekend (for better or worse).

Kelsey:

What a way to spend Thanksgiving Day - last-minute preparations for your tell.  I wish you all well and success.

Yes, as I frequently comment, if you both took a marriage vow of 'for better or for worse', then your 'for better' is about to begin as you transition.

There was the time when laws obligated the best of marriages destroyed for lack of marriage equality.  Nowadays, there is no longer that destructive mandate; marriages can survive and flourish knowing that the transitioning partner is getting 'better'.

*

Oh, yeh, I used one of those hand mirrors.  I began the whole plucking process over time and then eventually all at once hoping that a gradual change would not attract attention going from a face with shadow to a clear face.  In other words, I started on the neck - not immediately noticeable.  Then a few days or week or so later to the sides and cheeks.  More time and got the chin.  Eventually around the mouth.  Then kept current once a week or so full-face - clear face and no shaving.

There was no laser during my time - electrolysis only.  My electrologist did comment about the growth cycles but was not too concerned for me and any disruptions since my schedule was spaced and she always had plenty to zap until I did reach the point when I no longer did pluck because what she removed cleared my face until the next visit.

You saw where I was at 1981 (shadow and bad shaving that ruined my skin) and then at 1985 (all gone).  It was not too bad.

*

The billing agent (at my medical center where I go for primary care and endocrinology) who knows about me recently confided to me she is trying to get rid of her mustache.  She asked me for a good electrologist.  A friend from our transsexual group gave to me an experienced electrologist who  has been doing ts clients for 30 years.  That will make her happy.

*

I needed to do nothing for my body hair - it all went away through hormones and anatomy.  I understand that there are hormones that either stop or restrict male pattern body hair growth among the standard protocol 'cocktail'; maybe your endo or primary can help you there.

I also understand nowadays there are tweezing devices that pluck multiple hairs as you go along on a pass over them and using them are not as painfull as waxing the way it removes so many at one rip - those are your erector pili muscles that you are destroying (the smallest muscle of human anatomy, yet so strong).

15 months after the start of transition, 14mo HRT today
I'm much happier now.  Pain replaced with levelnes, numbness replaced with the ability to feel a full range of emotions, hardly want a drink these days.  Life is much more challenging yet so much more better!

I'm 45.  You can do this!!!

I'm 54 and I just started this year.  So nice to see how happy some of us older ladies can be after a lifetime of struggles.  Yes we can do this!!

Pretty! You have a Meagan Fox type of look. Once you get laser/electrolysis and grow your hair out, I think you'll easily pass.

Btw you were quite handsome in your pre-transition photo! ;D .

I tried to get a closer shave and to apply a little councealer on upper lip beard zone ( i applied it once, waited 30 min and applied another time).  My face is all natural except this (no foundation, no mascara,  no eyeliner, no blush, no lipstick, really my face).

is it better for the shadows? :)

At the suggestion of a friend here are a few photo's.

First one is the oldest digital photo that I have of me from sometime in 2010 or so. I was at my heaviest then at least over 260 odd pounds. I hated getting my picture taken as my face was always big and puffy.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLRoWrvGl.jpg&hash=e3d349b83263d283c13415cdfc60854fbcdc261a)
I can't imagine looking like that now or how I lived with myself back then.

This was around August 2013
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F5QdAbPfl.jpg&hash=42ae3921c2181f50368c652af650473a4341fcc5)
As I guy for some reason I always looked sleep in photo's. And could never seem to look happy even when I felt happy. I did lose a lot of weight between 2010 and 2013 and was hovering around 195-200lbs at that time.

I know I posted this one a few months go but

This was February of this year most likely the second darkest time in my life. Heavily drinking, letting myself go and generally mad at the world. Very rarely would people want to talk to me as I looked rather intimating.

I'm not going to post my eariler photos when I started going out as female. As my makeup skills were rather bad and I cringe looking at them.

Taken on September 21/2015 the day I changed my maker to female on my drivers license.

Taken the middle of October had the makeup game down just over using eyeliner.

Yeah.  It took about two years total.  Going vegan really brought it home for the final 50.  I have put a little back on as I am not very active lately, but I am going to get it under control.

I am at 165.  Still feel kinda fat.  I never managed to get a 28 inch waist.

Been on hrt for 31 months, though the first year was very light, so really about 20 months of solid treatment.

When I was in the States, I could have been a vegetarian despite of infrequent eating meat and fish. Here in my country, it is nearly impossible to be a vegetarian. But I have maintained my current weight for 12 years. I can not decrease further, nor my friends recommend it.

A healthy weight differs by person, and I guess your current weight is ideal for your body and mind. Of course, you can decrease more if you wish to do.

Yes. I feel I look sexy when my waist looks skinny!

Yes. Hair regrowth is a great news. I am loosing my hair everyday, and I take finasteride. Yes. Loose hair in your face, and get hair in your head! We call it equalization.

People always tell me how hot of a guy I was, and follow it up with, why did you transition, you were so hot!. I know alot of people take offense to such comments, but I never do, I like that people think I'm hot neither way :) they usually follow up with questions about my penis.  But it's all in good fun :)

Yes. Some of my friends, both male and female, sometimes say how sexy I would look if I wear men's dresses. And, then they repeat and repeat it until I firmly say that I hate wearing men's dresses. Then they continue until I say that I would rather cut away my geni*ls than wearing men's dresses  >:(

I've not actually put one of these together before, but have been using PhotoChron on my phone to take pics when I remember for one of those transition time lapse things, so here are some stills from that.

Starts a month(ish) before any HRT, Oestrodial & Dutasteride until 3 months ago when I started with Gosrelin. Also, I was having pretty intensive electrolysis towards the start, much more casual zapping these days. No surgery yet; still rocking the wig vibes, but hair transplant business is definitely in my future....I do think that'll make all the difference to my look, but also my confidence.

You don't see the change much until you put your pics side by side.

I never thought I'd do one of these, but it's been about a year since I stopped hiding, so I thought it might be fun.

Here's me 1 year ago right after my 40th birthday.

Here's me 9 months later and 50pounds lighter, weeks before starting HRT.

You transformed from a not-so-attractive man to a beautiful woman - amazing transformation!

I'm agree she's very good looking now, a real beauty. She wasn't unattractive before. She had still some good facial features and was probably a bit good looking then too. But she had a difference hairstyle at that picture. The picture being taken from a weird angle and that may change how she appear at it. She had a pretty nose bridge and something in the eyes before too. So the face had some good and feminine features. I'm looking at the facial features too, not only the hairstyle.

I will preface this by saying I'm not as glamorous as some of you. I actually keep a plain appearance as I'm a busy gal, but occasionally doll it up.

Anyway from the beginning. Me at 4 years old. I had long hair. I was happy:

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1188.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz403%2Frjairam%2F8BBF7D4B-DF82-43B0-91C1-BDCBBB9F718E_zps2mi0wtzx.jpg&hash=e32d04395b110766c662d010ed6bb0577ed98742)

Then I got fed up, realized that I couldn't hide who I am and broke down and started transition.

Very early into HRT like less than a month. I'm changing.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1188.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz403%2Frjairam%2FB5566663-033E-4DAD-8261-FAF4D9C2D94D_zpschodryzp.jpg&hash=4a1f3b651193b05ba07cb14cd801b74188e5df36)

Then 6 months or so. Boom.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1188.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz403%2Frjairam%2F34621D3D-1EE7-4A8B-A417-D8ACCDAE530C_zps9cugbbh1.jpg&hash=de97a71a7be5d91258942ee3c4b42a3a5dc57f11)

Went to court to change my name in October. Dressed for the occasion. 10 months HRT.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1188.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz403%2Frjairam%2FF6507B10-360F-490C-8153-2970BB50D377_zpskskd9los.jpg&hash=87b2090d3afea62d06b2174c98cac8359bc4c7b8)

Yes. Substantial changes. You are still walking along the unknown road. Yes. Family is the most important. Always be optimistic.

BTW, I seldom show my old photos in male mode.

Me too but you do anything once. And I'm not keeping them up for too long anyway.

Whoa that is amazing. Did you waist train or is that just HRT?
Title: Re: The All New 'Before & After Topic (v 3.0)
Post by: archlord on December 20, 2015, 01:18:35 PM
probably just genetics to be honest . I was born with a very small frame and skiny. I trained like mad for 6 year to acquire the shape you see in the before picture and this is the only picture i took lolllll ( i was 128 lbs before gym).  I had similar waist pre-hrt  but yes i am waist training since 3 week


Chest measurement was 42 inch and went down to 35 inch(including breast tissue) .  Waist went down from 32 inch to 27.5 inch.   Arm went down from 17.5 inch to 13 inch

Post by: iKate on December 20, 2015, 01:35:46 PM
Same here with genetics (see my pics of me as a kid). I was thinking of waist training as I would like a little more curve.

I was 34 waist as a guy but 27 now.

Post by: archlord on December 20, 2015, 01:39:17 PM
Oh waist training is not fake it actually works. I see the difference ( i reduced the size of it twice allready)  You should definitivly get one.  I wear mine 8 hour a day

Post by: iKate on December 20, 2015, 01:41:50 PM
Sounds good.

Right now I'm 41-27-39. An inch down to 26 would be great.

It's hard to compare the two due to the dryink glass, but you don't look bad at all. I can't wait to see how you look after being on HRT longer.

  Thanks. I'm stating to believe it to. Hopefully me getting fit will make hrt that much more effective. Fingers crossed that once I get to my goal weight I can achieve boymode fail 100% of the time so that my family can give me the green for FT.

I actually managed to find some before photos!! I know this isn't the most amazing transformation out there because I've not been doing this long lol  :) No hormones as yet, just laser, finasteride (used as a DHT blocker in the UK on a strong prescription), make up and positive thinking  :-*

I think there's about five years between the photo's

How long have you been a pilot? I want to take some lessons; it seems like it would be so much fun!

Hi Kitten

I have been a pilot for 42 years. My Grandfather and Grandmother taught me. I started flying when I could reach the rudder peddles when I was about 7 and then my first solo when I was 14 and my license when I was 16. I bought my first seaplane when I was 17. I love fling and I own 3 different planes.

So so so happy after looking at all 90+ pages of these transition pics.  All of you are so strong and beautiful.  I sit here in tears comprehending the challenge you all have faced, and the challenge that lies ahead for me.  Thank you all for sharing your personal journey with a complete stranger who you owed nothing to but who now owes you much.

P.S. Sorry I'm such a sap, but I've been having a down day, thinking about what lies ahead and how slowly time seems to move sometimes, particularly when we wished for a quantum leap ahead.  My second gender therapist session is Thursday.  I have a lot to talk to her about and need the courage to get it all out and you have given it to me.

We have all been there girl!  Some of us not very long ago.  We share to provide that encouragement to others who may be questioning.."can I do this..."  There have been so many ladies here who I saw when I was just trying to figure out if I could possibly transition.  They provided me with inspiration and strength and I know that if it wasn't for their sharing, I may not have had the courage to move forward.  So, just know that we are here to inspire, help and give the benefit of our journeys to help you get through yours.

This could've been me, word for word, last July.  I remember thinking how beautiful our trans sisters are (and I still feel the same), and now I'm living a life I never thought I'd have the courage to pursue.  Big huge hug Gia.  We're here for you! <3

JUST WTF! HOW could i change so much in 3.5 month!!

i was talking with my mom that totally accepted me today  ;D   She said that she never thought that she would say that but she prefer Elodie to Etienne.  i am so happy  :laugh:

Then she said that i changed a lot physically, we looked at a pre-HRT picture and i told her.. hmm i am not sure it is maybe just the hair?  She said noo your face changed a lot . 

So i decided to try the same wig i was using pre-HRT ( i am obviously wearing something that suit me much better now hehe )

So here is the outcome omg...

a few week before HRT

That's what it is all about to me...being happy with who you have always truly been on the inside.

This is the loveliest thing everyone said to me on Facebook when I posted my pics. It's true: it makes me so happy.

On a different point I still struggle with the posting pics issue. Isn't Pinterest an awful faff? And is it pinterest that enables people to post the actual pics into the post on here? Surely pinterest just makes a link?

I've posted "before" pictures in the past and I'm still really dysphoric.  I really don't look too different at this point, but a few things have changed.  I was on low dose HRT for two months then on a high dose for about 6, at which point I began to see somethings happening to my body and I freaked out and stopped for about a month and a half... then I said to hell with it and started up again about a week ago.  So I'm at about 9 months...  I really don't think I look too different, maybe a little, and that's disappointing, but a few things have changed or have at least started to. 

I don't have much facial hair anymore, due to a combo of laser and HRT.  My body hair has also diminished greatly.  My muscles are starting to soften up a lot.  I always had lean muscle and was never bulky, but now I'm getting less bulky than I even was before... everything is softening up.  My chest is staring to come in a bit, still not much outside of wearing a padded bra, but my butt has swelled up by about 50%.  I've thrown on about 20lbs since starting and am now at about 165.  I'm gonna cycle down over the next few weeks to about 150, then put weight on again.  My legs are changing... though I'm not sure in what way.  My face has softened... maybe... a little.  Though I never really had a "masculine face."  Oh, and I'm still rocking the wig (although it's the same color as my hair), BUT my hair has thickened up considerably - even my hairline.  Now I will say that I was by no means bald and most people thought I was crazy to say my hair was thinning/receding a bit, but it was.  Apparently I caught it early enough and it's really back to being almost full capacity.  I've shaved it twice since starting HRT so it will grow in more even (first time I tried trimming it myself and messed up) and last time was only about a month ago.  I have a wiffel right now, and I really hate having short hair.  I also got my ears pierced!!!

I still have a bit of beard shadow, so I still put a bit of pink on under my foundation around my jaw... which makes it tough to put make-up on smoothly.  I don't really get dressed too often at this point anyway, I'll get better.  I also was sort of rushing when getting ready last night and was only going out driving around with my sister.  I screwed up my eye shadow and didn't really care to fix it, and I took these when I got home and everything was starting to smudge... so sorry.  My wig is starting to bald a bit in the front.  It's a nice wig, but I haven't taken care of it at all.  Oh, and I only tied my shirt up like that because I wanted to see how my stomach looked.  I've been putting weight on there in that area women normally do, not bad, but I have to start with the vacuum exercises again.

I really don't think I look all that girly, dood with moobs as I said after last pic, but I do feel cute now, first time ever felt that; and that really makes such a difference for me in terms of how I feel about myself. Never really gotten any crap from anybody while out yet, figure must be doing ok... Kinda don't care if I do now either anyways.

Like so many others, used to wonder if I was making a huge mistake by doing this. Now, barely recognize myself in old pics. In many ways, I am a very different person. I could never imagine going back to THAT...guess that answers that question huh...

You can link one through Dropbox or other web storage base system... With the image icon above the text box. 



The easier way (for me at least) is to use tap talk on my phone and tablet.  Makes it easier to post, read and reply to posts.

This is me in december 2011 during a photoshoot for something which I don't really remember. I think it was a schoolproject or something like that.

And this was in July 2015 (continuing on the modeling-theme) where I was a hair model for a Swedish company.

So now i just need to land a bikini-contract for the summer as a post-srs photo!  ;)

I've been holding back from posting my before and after but here I go...

This is me about 18 months before everything...

This is me last night >12 months on HRT (with 3 days of facial hair growth for today's electrolysis appointment)...

Anyway please be honest, I know I have a long way to go still.

I think I've fixed the link...

So I really wasn't planning on adding to before and after as I just got going really, but the weight loss and laser show and maybe a hormones a bit as well, but I've only been on estrogen for 7 weeks. I didn't really see much difference in my face until I went to get a new passport photo today and pulled out the old one  :P
I'm about 30 lbs down since last year and 60 lbs down from my all time heaviest after quitting smoking.

My only wish is that I started at 23 instead of 33 but wasn't ready. Thought I can manage it and live with the condition forever but I was wrong :)

This was me last spring when I made the decision to begin.

Isn't it just crazy how quite often we don't see the changes taking place, while others do? Right now, I still don't see the changes even after looking at pictures from before starting HRT.

anyway, you look amazing!

Now with only 24 days before my srs (yay!!!) I felt it was time to look back to where I came from and where I am now

This is me in december 2011 during a photoshoot for something which I don't really remember. I think it was a schoolproject or something like that.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2DSFPKK.jpg%3F1&hash=bcd065cb3f9217fd66887e78cb6784a7673c2dff)
And this was in July 2015 (continuing on the modeling-theme) where I was a hair model for a Swedish company.

So now i just need to land a bikini-contract for the summer as a post-srs photo!  ;)

I love the second pic!!!! You have a very "unique" look. I absolutely love it  ;D

My first transition video.  Before/after pic for the vid is 16 months apart. 

I'm 45, if I can do this YOU can do this.

Wow you look amazing but more importantly you look so much happier.  I really enjoyed watching your video.  Thanks so much for sharing :)

It feels a bit silly to post mine because it's so early. I've been on E for 1 month but it's the lowest dose really. I start everything (good dosage, hair removal etc) next month. So any changes you can see are padding and makeup. But I feel better about myself already :)

These before pictures make me look happy in front of the camera but I wasn't. There are very few pics of me. These are pretty much all I have!

This is around the age of 25. Absolutely should have started here.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FYQ7O0C3.jpg&hash=281e33cd723197972ea28842d1be9619e983965b)

Probably around 28 years old. Was running in the rain.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FtFMhiU3.jpg&hash=49eab5aae35ced6c66812b26dd42cfac109db460)

This is just over a year ago. I was presenting as male and female at different times by this point. Telling people I was genderfluid. This is obviously a guy day.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FjEzKJzg.jpg&hash=ee9b7c2bca5eac27b95506921c8512adf7ea3bb5)

This is me at my current age, 30. Possibly the last guy pic before making the decision to start HRT.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FjF8eRBX.jpg&hash=5ad308f8493650b9c35b65507d141e527d4efb93)

Last year I was living half my life presenting as male and half as female. This is after a night out. Still no HRT.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmzgKvSn.jpg&hash=fbe4fbbbdbc3789a223d29997aa16a98e68e1e45)

From this point I had started HRT but such a low dose and so soon that there hadn't been any changes.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FBG54dZY.jpg&hash=8c43308db037dc34b03ad9d865b80c917de2949b)

This was the next day so the same situation.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FH4dysrI.jpg&hash=ad3343ff4fa870a9600d5667b347c12a42e67694)

This is when I felt my life had really changed. No physical changes or anything but just happier. I moved to London, started a new job that was ok with the transitioning, and this is my new flat :)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FowllYsY.jpg&hash=e6c16a92fbcd5039e9443a25e8f85505cb7adca5)

Totally used to London life and in a great mood even if I don't pass.

I love how short this giant mirror makes me look! I'm pretty tall!
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FtsAubxV.jpg&hash=a45e893f542a2b95c41a316c48d68ef7b734dc59)

I'm not a fan of this pic but it does a good job showing my masculine features and will be a good comparison point going forward.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FaabrWaa.jpg&hash=c72e0a8e09c70405f91f6d4688b1345b18e2175d)

I don't even know. I blame a friend.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FE3vWUnR.jpg&hash=065db037397b132df9341ef29467ae02810f405a)

This is my most recent pic but about a month ago actually. I'm growing out my natural hair but it's still short. It's very black so I thought I'd get a new wig so it isn't such a drastic change when I eventually start going wigless!
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fo28hQCd.jpg&hash=44a5ae03835fa4c0f63ae7f22e28e6116dcc0eeb)

Since taking that pic I do actually have some slight breast grown even from my hilariously low dosage. Apart from that no other changes except mentally :) all kicks off for me next month :D

I think there's a about 18 months difference here, the one on the right taken today. On the left I was blonder and the style was different, I have gone back to my natural colour but have extensions to go longer :)

I just found an old pic of me from about two years ago on one of my FB friends account. I was amazed at how far I've come since then so I'd like to share my before and after. I am so excited about the difference!!!!  :laugh:

It feels a bit silly to post mine because it's so early. I've been on E for 1 month but it's the lowest dose really. I start everything (good dosage, hair removal etc) next month. So any changes you can see are padding and makeup. But I feel better about myself already :)

These before pictures make me look happy in front of the camera but I wasn't. There are very few pics of me. These are pretty much all I have!

This is around the age of 25. Absolutely should have started here.

This is my most recent pic but about a month ago actually. I'm growing out my natural hair but it's still short. It's very black so I thought I'd get a new wig so it isn't such a drastic change when I eventually start going wigless!
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fo28hQCd.jpg&hash=44a5ae03835fa4c0f63ae7f22e28e6116dcc0eeb)

Since taking that pic I do actually have some slight breast grown even from my hilariously low dosage. Apart from that no other changes except mentally :) all kicks off for me next month :D

That's quite the transition GeneticJen.   I can't believe you just started HRT.  The new wig really works too.

I feel like I've gone from teenager to adult twice in my life now

2007 - I was literally a teenage pot smoking junky
2010 - Fixed myself.
2013 - Makeup? Yeah lets try it. LOL
2016 - Fixed myself.

It's funny. In 2007 I looked at that picture of myself and liked it. Now I just keep it to remind me where I came from

   I never thought I'd show anyone the picture from 2013. That was my very first time ever trying makeup. I'd done my eyeliner and had a goth stage as a kid.. But never this. But I thought I looked fabulous at the time too lol

I cannot believe who I am now. But I love it. I just hope in a month I don't look at the 2016 picture and hate it as much as I do the others.

A link cause I'm super self conscious. I'm only at three months, but I already would like to stop being called "sir". I swear people are just being mean when they do it. I have dates at the bottom of them as I'm taking one photo a month and month three was where I noticed a difference. The January photo is literally what I used to be. Originally I was going to wait till six months to "unveil" myself, however my mom is visiting next month(!) so I figured I'd unveil at five if I pass what I call the "mom test". My hair's a bit longer now and yeesh...why was my hair a mess during each of these?

Just what I need during what is proving to be "the moody season"....

^^There are definitely changes at 3 months. Your face looks softer and you appear happier which is also a very big deal. Something changed for me I thought and there were more changes between month 3 and 4 then from 1 to 3.

Don't regret, you look fantastic already. Much healthier and happier and atleast 5-10 years younger in just three months. You're very brave and should be proud of that, become the inspiration of many people hun. :)

I hope one day I can drop the mask myself, it's a battle I am going to lose, just very scared to make the steps forward.

That's a truly impressive transformation. I noticed in a different thread earlier that someone said your brow ridges were a little pronounced; I just wanted to say that I've seen a lot of ciswomen with your exact features. Also, plenty of women would absolutely kill for your defined collarbones and cheekbones.

It's amazing to see how much the estrogen softened your jawline and features overall. You look great, honestly, and you can see the happiness radiating off of you. Your hair color and hairstyle suit you quite well.

Thanks so much Stone.  It's been a remarkable ride and its nice to know that I'm doing good.

Just an FTM crashing the party, but....

It's amazing to see how much the estrogen softened your jawline and features overall. You look great, honestly, and you can see the happiness radiating off of you. Your hair color and hairstyle suit you quite well.


I know I try to always try to say thanks because it is the polite thing to do. Sometimes I get busy and am not able to respond and the posts end up getting buried behind additional responses. I know the last couple of months for me have been filled with so much travel and meetings that I haven't been able to devote the time and attention to the site that I used to.  Thanks for reminding us that we need to do more to support the people who take the time to contribute and offer support.

I'm only 1 year HRT on low dose (a bit less since I actually stopped for SRS 2 monthes ago), but I had some fun with photos from a long time ago looking like recent photos. (I'm 28 years old so I'm 18-20 on those)

That's a truly impressive transformation. I noticed in a different thread earlier that someone said your brow ridges were a little pronounced; I just wanted to say that I've seen a lot of ciswomen with your exact features. Also, plenty of women would absolutely kill for your defined collarbones and cheekbones.

It's amazing to see how much the estrogen softened your jawline and features overall. You look great, honestly, and you can see the happiness radiating off of you. Your hair color and hairstyle suit you quite well.

I feel a little awkward saying this now in light of kittenpower's post (haha), but thank you! :P

It's been about 17 months since I first went out in public as my true self. The photo on the left is from December of 2014. Three months later I was taking transition level HRT. The photo on the right is how I look now after 14 months on HRT. I am still amazed at how much better I feel now.

Jenny, Thank you for the kind compliments! :)  We all worry if we will turn out OK.  Even those in their early 20's have the same worries. 

I started just before my 44th birthday.  Give yourself a couple years. HRT is magic in many ways, but it's slow.  Puberty takes 3-7 years so don't hurry anything.  As always, I suggest injectables for the most reliable and solid feminization.  You got this girl!

Hey Jenny - I know you didn't ask me but I startred HRT in March of 2015 and I was one year older than you. To give you an idea here is a picture of me in Aug 2014 when I was 53 (on the left) and one of me a couple weeks ago right after I turned 55 (on the left).  Age is only one of the determining factors.....

Jessie Ann, it is inspiring to see your transition at your age.  You look great!

The life I've worked so hard to create is at risk of collapse if I become who I am inside.  With wives, kids and a good career, transition is not an option, at least right now, but the stress of getting older and regret is there. 

You've given some hope :-)

Hi everyone :)

It's been a while since I've been at Susan's, but I was feeling on the better side today, and thought I'd share a quick before and after.  I'm 30, and have been on HRT for 6.5 months.  Really excited to see where things go in the next 6 months :).  I've had some really difficult experiences over the last little while, but transitioning is something I'll never regret having started.

You pass very well. Very amazing transistion. The old you looks very masculine and "he" looks like a whole different person. "He" could be your brother. Now you looks pretty and do pass very well. It's amazing how you manage to transistion from very masculine looking to a very cis-like woman.

Thanks!!  That's actually super reassuring.  I had some awful experiences when I was not passing at all, and I still live with non-passing paranoia every time I'm out of the house as a result.  My bf, friends and family all tell me I don't have anything to worry about, but my mind is taking its good time to come around to that.  Thanks in any case :)

Viewing my profile picture, do you think I will look ok?  Do you think I have a chance assuming I do electrolysis and HRT?  Thanks. Jenny.

I don't see why that wouldn't be the case.  I think you're already pretty :) 

One thing I've learned is that pre-HRT pics give you no indication of what to expect.  I can tell you I looked *nothing* like my current self while I was still pre-HRT, even with tons of makeup and a wig, and I have a friend who started off looking fairly feminine and still looks basically the same (she was gorgeous to begin with).  It's the classic YMMV (=your mileage may vary). 

For me, the hardest lesson has been to stop taking myself seriously, and to become confident in my appearance despite hearing the occasional "sir" - and the more I've been able to do this, the more I've been getting gendered correctly.  HRT has helped a lot, but I think attitude has carried me further.  Also, voice, laser hair removal, mannerisms, style, etc all combine to determine how well you present overall.

Awesome job!!  You look great, in a relatively short period as well.

Your timeline is very good.  I love to see this progress.  I know how addictive transitional videos are...it's amazing to see the transformation and see the happiness shine through.

What voice training did you do? Was it with a professional or "DIY"?

Thank you Amber!!  That's very kind of you :)

My voice training was all DIY, but I did sing in my late teens/early twenties, so I just drew on my singing voice and played around with it until I found the right range.  It took a lot of practice.  You see in my timeline that I started from a deep baritone, and it took over 6-7 months of almost daily practice - and a willingness to sound silly/unnatural/cartoony in public - before it truly began to click.

That is the way we all feel at the beginning.  There is a great fear that we will not be accepted and that we will be the object of scorn.  I found most people to be very decent.  I had someone say "welcome sir" just the other day as I was walking into a store.  I'm sure it was because of my height and nothing more.  A few months ago I probably would have been paranoid that I had been clocked.  Now I know that it is probably not the case. 

You have a great foundation to start from.  One of the great things about transitioning later in life is that at our age men and women begin to move closer together in physical appearance making it easier for us to blend in.  The best thing you can do for yourself is to have confidence in yourself. I transitioned with the attitude that I didn't care what others thought and that gave me the confidence to present as myself.  I have not yet had a really negative experience in public in my 13 months of RLE.

Good luck girl!

Thank you again for your kind words.  I have an appointment with my endo this Friday. It is for my diabetes but I will be discussing my transition there too. Hopefully I can get some information there. I do at least plan to ask for them to check my T and E levels. All I know is that I smile every time I see Jenny in the mirror. She makes me feel so happy. :)

Just wanted to second this - words can't describe how unsure and fearful I was when I started my journey.  I think it's extremely rare for a trans person to not have any tiny doubt whatsoever.  Btw Jessie Ann, I remember you from when I first started posting here.  You look really lovely :)

Thank you Amber!!  That's very kind of you :)

My voice training was all DIY, but I did sing in my late teens/early twenties, so I just drew on my singing voice and played around with it until I found the right range.  It took a lot of practice.  You see in my timeline that I started from a deep baritone, and it took over 6-7 months of almost daily practice - and a willingness to sound silly/unnatural/cartoony in public - before it truly began to click.

Well done.  Your voice is remarkably good.  I've seen a few YouTube tutorials and I try to practice in private (while commuting in the car) :-).  Very hard to determine if it is helping. LOL

Do you have any recommendations of videos, techniques or tutorials that you used or you know are effective?

Many thanks.

That link didn't work well for me but it led me to googling around - try the free app 'panotuner'.

I found it quite reassuring - it measures your voice by Hz - below 150 is male range. Above 175 is female range. Presumably between 150 and 175 is overlap territory. You see it moving around as you talk. It was nice to see the dial going up over 200 and settling on an average of 185.

Thanks again :) that's very sweet of you!

I find the Deep Stealth videos the most accessible and easy to follow.  Here's a link to the first video of the series :)

I also recommend videos by Shae Sanguine:

Last, I've offered this in the past, but if anyone wants to do a quick skype session with me, I'm happy to do like half an hour of troubleshooting (just PM me - I do go off Susan's for long periods of time sometimes, but right now I sign in relatively frequently).  My schedule is crazy but I do like helping people with voice - I find it fun :)

Thank you so much :-)

I'm far from needing 'fine tuning' in my voice.  I'm still at the complete overhaul stage. I'm pretty sure I still sound like a dude - LOL
...but one day, I'd love to take you up on your offer and get your opinion/assistance :-)

I'll definitely have a look at those videos.

Hi everyone :)

It's been a while since I've been at Susan's, but I was feeling on the better side today, and thought I'd share a quick before and after.  I'm 30, and have been on HRT for 6.5 months.  Really excited to see where things go in the next 6 months :).  I've had some really difficult experiences over the last little while, but transitioning is something I'll never regret having started.

Can anyone who has had FFS tell me if buccal fat pad removal is likely to enhance or be a bad move. I'm not having any jaw shaving or resetting because I don't need it - and I had a top surgeon at a top price tell me he wouldn't take my money for it, which is good enough for me.

But with the cheek pads removed, has anyone here had that done? My concern is that a narrower face might tip the jaw from being fine, to not being.

Its often done along with underchin lipo and jawline lipo... its not really feminizing procedure, its cosmetic procedure for men and women. It can have benefitial effect (in terms of feminization) on width of your lower face, as it makes your lower cheek area narrower, and with that, whole lower facial third narrower in comparison with middle facial third. Its not really commonly used in FFS, except if there is excess tissue.

That's what I thought. It's only an extra $900 so, I might as well. A specialist said my face was rounded and feminine already, so I wondered if it would hinder rather than help me in that. But I've always wanted a very thin face.

Thank you for your answer. Much appreciated.

Wow! Shae Sanguine sounds like a cis woman for me. She has probably worked hard for that. Perhaps it wasn't so difficult for her, since she didn't have so low voice from the start of.

I don't have a low voice but I have a super high amplitude - I can go very low or very high (so high my doctor is impressed every single time).

But that doesn't help much. How low or high you are, or how low or high you can go, the difficult thing is to make it sound natural.

And I'm still totally hopeless at that.
